Parliament Suspends Pita Limjaroenrat Bid to become PM

• The battle to name Thailand’s next prime minister took a major turn Wednesday as Parliament voted to deny Pita Limjaroenrat, who’s progressive Move Forward Party won a surprise victory in May’s election, a second chance to be confirmed for the post.
