BANGKOK (Reuters) – Thai Prime Minister Peta Limjaroonrat failed on Thursday in his initial bid to become Thailand’s next prime minister after failing to secure the required approval of more than half of the members of the bicameral parliament. PETA, the leader of the winners in the election moving forward, was not unopposed in the contest but could not muster the needed support, with a large number of representatives abstaining and voting against. Parliament is expected to hold another vote next week, which Peta could contest if nominated again.
