=Speaker Election
The election for Speaker of the House of Representatives will take place on July 4, 2023, at 9.30am local time.
The speaker and two deputy speakers will be elected by a vote within the House, and appointed by the King. The Speaker is also the ex officio President of the National Assembly of Thailand. Although the Speaker is usually a member of the largest party, this is not a requirement. In fact, the previous speaker, Chuan Leekpai, was a member of the Democrat Party, despite that party not being the largest in the House at the time.
Both the Move Forward Party and the Pheu Thai Party announced that they wanted the House speakership. They were scheduled to meet on the 28th of June to resolve the disagreement, but this meeting was canceled. Move Forward has nominated Padipat Suntiphada, an MP from Phitsanulok's 1st district to be the speaker. On July 3, the day of the opening of the new parliament, the Pheu Thai Party announced that their MPs had resolved to nominate Prachachart Party leader and former speaker Wan Muhamad Noor Matha as an alternative speaker candidate. In response, Wan Muhamad said that he did not want the position, but that "If Pheu Thai really resolves to nominate me, I am willing to accept the nomination, but we have to listen to the opinions of Move Forward and the people. If the people agree, I am happy to work for them, although it will be the last time in my political life." The decision by Pheu Thai MPs still needed to be ratified by the party's executive committee. Move Forward later agreed to support Wan Muhamad, ending the crisis.
Move Forward then nominated Padipat Suntiphada for first deputy speaker instead, and the United Thai Nation Party nominated veteran politician Witthaya Kaewparadai, a party list MP.
The post of second deputy speaker went to Pheu Thai's Pichet Chuamuangphan, a constituency MP from Chiang Rai province.
