After the vote on Move Forward leader Pita Limjaroenrat’s re-nomination, several senators and MPs left parliament by boat, from the rear of the compound, to avoid protesters who are gathered at the front.
Supporters of the Move Forward party have been gathering in front of parliament since this morning (Wednesday) and many of them are still there, after the parliamentary sitting has ended.
The Royal Thai Navy, the marine police and the Marine Department have provided boats at a pier on the Chao Phraya River to ferry the senators and MPs away.
Senator Kittisak Rattanawaraha is reported to have left parliament via the Boon Rawd brewery on Samsen Road and took a public bus home.
