People party is now the successor to the Move Forward party

15 Sept 15:04 Key points summarised by AI

The defunct Move Forward party has officially unveiled its new incarnation, named the Prachachon (People) party, complete with a new executive committee and leader.
Natthaphong Ruengpanyawut was elected as the new leader, replacing Chaithawat Tulathon, who was debarred from politics along with ten other executive committee members.
Nearly all 143 former Move Forward MPs swiftly signed applications to join the new People party to ensure continuity and prevent potential defections to other parties.
The People party is a historic entity, originally registered in 1983, and its name was strategically acquired to serve as the new political home for the former Move Forward members.
