Thailand Opposition Backs Bhumjaithai Party to Form Government
Following the Constitutional Court's removal of Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra for ethical breaches related to a phone call with Cambodia's former leader, Thailand faces political uncertainty as parties vie to form a new government. The opposition People's Party, holding 143 seats, initially hesitated but later declared its support for the Bhumjaithai party and its leader Anutin Charnvirakul to become the next prime minister, a move that could end the recent political deadlock. This party's backing is pivotal due to its significant parliamentary presence, and both the ruling Pheu Thai Party and Bhumjaithai have sought its alliance amid the power struggle. Paetongtarn's dismissal, part of a pattern of court removals of Thai leaders, has intensified tensions, especially following recent border clashes with Cambodia. The political landscape remains volatile, with the People's Party demanding reforms including a referendum on the military-drafted 2017 Constitution, which has been criticized for limiting reformist governance. The outcome of this realignment will test the influence of the Shinawatra family and the establishment as Thailand seeks to stabilize its government.
