Prayut Chan-o-Cha

Srettha Thavisin's confirmation as the country's PM was not a surprise, but the August 22 vote in Parliament offered some signs of where Thai politics might be heading.

During his nine years in power, the general turned Thailand’s judiciary, and its Constitutional Court in particular, into a weapon for advancing and safeguarding conservative interests.

The former general steps down nine years after coming to power in the military coup of 2014.

If the victorious Move Forward Party is unable to garner the votes to form the country's next government, an alternative is lurking in the wings.

How the change in voting tendencies among Bangkokians may indicate a national political shift.

The party’s capture of 32 of the capital’s 33 parliamentary constituencies may serve as a crucial bulwark against conservative interference.

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

Whatever the result, this week's election is unlikely to resolve the contradiction that has produced a state of rolling crisis in the country's politics.

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.

Two surveys conducted earlier this month show the opposition Pheu Thai Party and Move Forward Party commanding significant support among the electorate.

Despite withering popularity and internal divisions, the military-backed ruling party is still a force to be reckoned with.

Thai citizens will be faced with a choice between the current stagnant approach, and a more modern, relevant, and adaptive foreign policy.

Launching the United Thai Nation Party's campaign, the former general promised to "move beyond" the conflict that has gripped Thai politics over the past two decades.

The polls will once again see a showdown between the allies of exiled former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra and the country's conservative establishment.

Once at the forefront of the youthful protests against PM Prayut Chan-o-cha, activists weigh in on the stakes of the upcoming polls.

The upcoming election, due to fall in early May, will see the Thai leader stand for election for the first time.

A new poll shows the Thai leader as the preferred candidate among respondents in the capital Bangkok.

Dissolving parliament early would have some minor benefits for Prayut Chan-o-cha's United Thai Nation party, but is unlikely to significantly improve its chances.

The leader has officially joined the United Thai Nation Party, in the hope of making an impression at this year's election.

The country's political landscape is in a state of high flux as it moves toward next year's general election.

The Pheu Thai Party is seeking to end nearly a decade of military-backed rule, but faces many challenges in a political system designed in part to exclude it from power.

Thai officials are hoping to steer discussions away from the Ukraine war toward issues including climate change, economic disruptions, and COVID-19 recovery.

Prayut Chan-o-cha is being courted by the newly formed Ruam Thai Sang Chart party, which was founded last year by one of his advisors.

The ghastly mass shooting in Nong Bua Lamphu Province has cast a light on the inadequacy of the country's current gun control regulations.
