Thailand's Pheu Thai Party said on Monday its bid to lead the next government had the backing of 14 parties, including two allied with its military rivals, a day ahead of a parliamentary vote for a new prime minister.
Thailand's bicameral parliament has been deadlocked for weeks on the formation of a new government after a May 14 election dominated by two former opposition parties, winners Move Forward and second placed Pheu Thai.
Real estate mogul Srettha Thavisin of the populist Pheu Thai had the backing of 14 parties to become prime minister in Tuesday's parliamentary vote, according to Phumtham Wechayachai, the party's deputy leader. Move Forward has said it would not back Pheu Thai's multi-party effort, arguing it distorted the election result and was against the public will.
