Bangkok, "Dr. Ong" accepted the court's decision on August 7th that the case of dissolving the Move Forward Party may affect the vice chairman's position if the executive committee is disqualified, but he will continue to work, hoping that the opposition will be able to serve as vice chairman for neutrality and balance. He told fellow Move Forward MPs that no one is afraid. Mr. Padipat Santipada, Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, talked about the case of dissolving the Move Forward Party, which the court will rule on August 7. How did you prepare since you are one of the former executives of the Move Forward Party? He said that there are many possibilities and he thought about the possibilities and limitations first, especially his own responsibilities, which he could do before and after August 7. However, it did not stop him from working in the various stages that he had prepared. Regarding the work in the House, he organized a hearing, but he did not prepare anything special. He talked to fe llow MPs of the Move Forward Party and was surprised that no one was afraid of anything. They still worked to their fullest potential and had the spirit to work. On August 7, the Move Forward Party will hold an event to hear the Constitutional Court's ruling at the Move Forward Party office. As to whether he will travel to join the event or not, Mr. Padipat stated that his main job is to be responsible for the House of Representatives meeting first. After that, if fellow MPs go to do activities anywhere, he will follow the news. As for whether the ruling will affect the position of Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mr. Padipat admitted that it will, if it leads to the disqualification of the party executive committee. As for the fact that the coalition parties may select a person to be the new Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives without considering a person from the Move Forward Party, that is the legitimate right of the House of Representatives because the positions of Speaker of t he House of Representatives and Deputy Speaker are nominated by the House of Representatives. However, he himself does not think that many people want the position of Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives because it does not bring much political benefit. He only asked that he come to develop the work of the House after him. If he agrees with the approach he has taken, he asked that they consider developing it further. As for the position of the first Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, which comes from the MOU between the Pheu Thai Party and the Move Forward Party, if a new Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives is elected, should it come from a person from the Move Forward Party? Mr. Padipat said that he was not sure if the MOU still had substance, but he expected the speaker to keep his word because the people had been hurt by the loss of his word many times and the MOU was torn up, so he did not expect much. However, if the principle of having a person from the opposition perf orm the duties of the Deputy Speaker was still seen, in order to create balance and institutional neutrality, it could be a good option for the government whip and the opposition whip to discuss.
