Move Forward not join coalition with United Thai Nation or Palang Pracharath

The Move Forward Party (MFP) has decided not to join any government coalition with United Thai Nation (UTN) or Palang Pracharath (PPR) due to their leaders' roles in the 2014 coup.
This stance was affirmed during a party meeting, highlighting that the May general election results, where MFP won the most seats, signaled a public demand for political change.
After failing to secure sufficient parliamentary votes for its leader, Pita Limjaroenrat, MFP withdrew from government formation, passing the responsibility to the runner-up, Pheu Thai.
Pheu Thai has since met with UTN and PPR to garner support for its prime ministerial candidate, despite MFP's firm refusal to ally with these parties.
