Real estate mogul Srettha Thavisin of the populist Pheu Thai has the backing of 14 parties to become prime minister in the parliamentary vote slated for August 22
BANGKOK, Thailand – Thailand’s Pheu Thai Party said on Monday, August 21, its bid to lead the next government had the backing of 14 parties, including two allied with its military rivals, a day ahead of a parliamentary vote for a new prime minister.
The two parties trounced conservative, pro-army opponents in what was seen as a resounding public rejection of nine years of government led or backed by the royalist military, which ousted Pheu Thai governments in 2006 and 2014. The party has taken over the formation of government after a bid by the progressive Move Forward failed last month, demonstrating fierce conservative resistance to its anti-establishment agenda.
