Pheu Thai Party

The pact enshrines many of the Move Forward Party's most ambitious reforms, but does not include its plans to amend the lese-majeste law.

Eight parties have now agreed to join the MFP-led coalition, leader Pita Limjaroenrat said, while outreach to other parties is ongoing.

The self-exiled leader has praised the progressive party's dynamic campaign, but could still end up exercising a strong influence over Thailand's next government.

It's not a question of whether the establishment will play spoiler, but of when and how.

MFP leader Pita Limjaroenrat says that the party plans to form a coalition government with five other parties.

The progressive Move Forward Party is poised for a stunning win in Sunday’s vote, but its ability to form the next government is far from guaranteed.

The ex-leader's announcement that he wants to return to Thailand after the May 14 polls is political risky and potentially destabilizing.

With two opposition parties leading in pre-election polls, the country's conservative establishment is reportedly considering drastic measures to keep them out of power.

The Move Forward and Pheu Thai parties both want the military out of power, but how far will that bind them once the post-election horse-trading begins?

According to a new poll, the Pheu Thai and Move Forward parties command the support of more than 60 percent of the electorate two weeks ahead of the May 14 election.

In the May election, a significant number of Thais are expected to vote for a party that has spoken about the need to reform – or even abolish – the lèse-majesté law.
