Thailand faces prolonged uncertainty after the winner of the May election, Move Forward, was blocked from forming a government by conservative legislators allied with the royalist military
BANGKOK, Thailand – Most Thais disagree with the leading plan for a coalition government which includes military-backed groups, an opinion poll showed on Sunday, August 20, two days before a parliamentary vote aiming to end a three-month political stalemate.
The second-place Pheu Thai, founded by the family of self-exiled billionaire former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, this month took over efforts to form a government. The party will work fully to solve the country’s problems if it can form a government, Paetongtarn added. On Sunday, she said Thaksin’s return had nothing to do with politics and he simply wanted to return to his home country.
