Bangkok, May 31 (Xinhua/UNI) Thailand is scheduled to pick a new prime minister on June 5, Chuan Leekpai, speaker of the House of Representatives, said on Friday.

All MPs and senators will convene in a joint House of Representatives & Senate meeting to vote for the prime minister, Chuan said at a press conference. The voting will be openly conducted on a roll call basis.

Earlier, Thailand's Royal Gazette website issued two Royal Announcements, saying King Maha Vajiralongkorn has formally approved the naming of a House speaker, two deputy House speakers, a Senate speaker and two deputy Senate speakers. Both houses held ceremony to accept the announcements.
