Thai Prime Minister Anutin Says Bhumjaithai Won Most Seats and Is Ready to Work With Other Parties
In a decisive election performance, Anutin’s Bhumjaithai leads the vote and signals openness to coalition building for government formation
Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul declared that his Bhumjaithai Party secured the most seats in Thailand’s general election and signalled a willingness to collaborate with other parties to form a stable government.
Unofficial results showed Bhumjaithai dramatically outperforming its rivals, with strong showings across numerous constituencies that make the party the leading force in the newly elected House of Representatives.
Speaking at the Bhumjaithai headquarters in Bangkok following the provisional counts, Anutin said the outcome sent a “clear signal” from voters about the party’s mandate, and he thanked supporters for placing their confidence in his leadership.
While he acknowledged that the official tally had yet to be certified by the Election Commission, he underscored that his party was prepared to pursue constructive discussions with potential allies to ensure effective governance.
Anutin emphasised that Bhumjaithai’s victory reflected the aspirations of all Thais, regardless of political affiliation, and he congratulated other parties that won seats in the legislature.
He indicated that discussions on forming a coalition would focus on advancing the national interest and delivering on the priorities articulated during the campaign, including economic growth, social stability and public welfare.
Political observers note that although Bhumjaithai achieved a commanding lead, it is likely to require coalition partners to reach a parliamentary majority.
Parties such as the Klatham Party, which also performed strongly, could play an influential role in negotiations.
Anutin’s overture to other parties suggests a strategic approach to building consensus as Thailand navigates the next phase of its democratic process.
