Pheu Thai claims to have enough support to form post-election coalition

13 Sept 11:44 Key points summarised by AI

Pheu Thai Party, the apparent winner of the recent general election, asserts it has gathered sufficient support from allies to establish a majority coalition government.
Secretary-general Phumtham Vechayachai confirmed the coalition commands over 250 MPs, ensuring political stability, but declined to name the specific supporting parties.
The influential Bhumjaithai Party, now a crucial 'king-maker,' has not yet committed to joining Pheu Thai's coalition, despite being actively courted by both Pheu Thai and the rival pro-Prayut Palang Pracharath.
Both Pheu Thai and Palang Pracharath are vying to form the next government, with each claiming a mandate based on different election metrics (Pheu Thai on seats won, Palang Pracharath on popular votes).
