AP reports that Thailand has been led
by Prayuth Chan-ocha, a former army
commander, for the past nine years.
His hopes of maintaining power have been hampered by
a lagging economy, a criticized response to the COVID
pandemic and his opposition to democratic reform.
The sentiment of the era has changed
and it’s right. And today it’s a new day
and hopefully it’s full of bright
sunshine of hope going forward, Pita Limjaroenrat, Move Forward Party, via Associated Press.
Thailand's opposition parties have campaigned
against the military's continued political interference,
marked by over a dozen coups since 1932.
On May 15, the Move Forward Party
captured 151 seats in the lower House,
winning more than 24% of the popular vote.
Coming in closely behind Move Forward,
the Pheu Thai Party won a projected 141 seats.
