Thailand politics

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.

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.

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.

Since the 2014 coup, the country's international activities have been conservative and narrowly conceived.

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.

The conservative party is making a desperate play to reverse its sliding electoral fortunes at next month's election.

The opposition Pheu Thai Party is well placed to win the May 14 polls. But will it be able to form government?

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

Will the two elections result in the further erosion of democratic and human rights norms, or will they produce a glimmer of hope?

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.

Courts are trying political activists for insulting the country's king, while sidestepping any discussion about what they actually said and whether it was true.

The two countries have both been criticized in recent years for violating democratic norms, but that’s about where the similarities end.

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 cartoon images of the duck, a symbol of the country's pro-democracy movement, were said to mock the Thai king.

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.
