Bhumjaithai Party says it’s ready to form new Thai govt
Following the removal of Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra by the Constitutional Court, Thailand is in the midst of a political transition. The Bhumjaithai Party, led by Anutin Charnvirakul, is actively pursuing a coalition deal to form a new government, with the support of the main opposition party, the People's Party (PP) [1].The proposed coalition aims to nominate Anutin as prime minister, with the PP agreeing to support him in the vote but not accepting any ministerial positions in the cabinet. This deal is contingent on a clear Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that stipulates the new prime minister must dissolve parliament and hold a new general election within a specified timeframe, alongside pushing for constitutional amendments [1].
The combined votes of the prospective coalition are estimated to be 239, with the PP holding 143 seats, Bhumjaithai with 69 seats, Palang Pracharath with 20 seats, Thai Sang Thai with 6 seats, and the Fair Party with 1 seat. To secure a simple majority and vote for a new prime minister, the coalition needs an additional eight seats [1].
Bhumjaithai's priorities, if it forms a government, include amending the constitution, resolving a border dispute with Cambodia, and dissolving parliament within four months [2][3]. These steps reflect the party's commitment to addressing Thailand's political and constitutional challenges.
The political landscape in Thailand remains fluid, with analysts warning of intense deal-making and a potentially divisive process in choosing a new leader [3]. The Bhumjaithai Party's readiness to form a new government underscores the need for stability and continuity in Thailand's political environment.
