Will the Pheu Thai Party be part of a governing coalition in Thailand after the next election and before 1 Jan 2024?
Thailand’s election, scheduled for 14 May 2023, pits pro-military parties led by Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha against pro-democracy parties, including Pheu Thai (CNN, CFR). This election is the second since the 2014 coup that brought General Prayut Chan-o-cha to power (BBC). The first election in 2019 was criticized by election monitors and opposition parties as illegitimate (CNN). It resulted in a pro-military governing coalition that elected Prayut as Prime Minister, despite Pheu Thai winning the most seats in the House of Representatives (The Guardian).
