Thailand’s pro-army Palang Pracharat party is looking for coalition partners from a wide field of potential allies as it seeks to keep military junta leader Prayut Chan-ocha , who led a 2014 coup, in office as prime minister.
Leaders of the Democratic Front have cried foul and threatened legal action, saying that both the electoral system and the Election Commission are biased toward extending the military regime.The Democratic Front of seven parties is led by the Pheu Thai party loyal to exiled former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, who was ousted in a 2006 coup.
It still could be weeks before a new government is formed, even though the pro-junta party is in a favourable position. But he said the Democrats would never join the Democratic Front because it is led by the pro-Thaksin Pheu Thai.
