Pheu Thai and Bhumjaithai announce deal to form government

Pheu Thai and Bhumjaithai announced a new coalition, combining 212 House seats, and are actively inviting more parties to form the core of the next government.
The parties claim to have already achieved a majority and aim to secure crucial support from MPs and senators to ensure governmental stability and address national issues.
This new alliance strategically avoids controversial policies, such as amending lèse majesté laws, which previously hindered the Move Forward party's attempts to form a government.
Pheu Thai leader Cholnan Srikaew explicitly stated that Palang Pracharath and United Thai Nation parties would not be included in their coalition.
