Pheu Thai (PT) is open to forming a coalition government with the Move Forward (MF) party, on the condition that MF does not pursue the repeal of the lèse majesté law (Section 112).
PT's prime ministerial candidates, Paetongtarn Shinawatra and Srettha Thavisin, reiterated the party's stance against forming alliances with parties linked to military dictatorships.
While PT aims for a landslide victory, it acknowledges the Move Forward party's increasing support, particularly among young voters, which could necessitate a coalition.
Pheu Thai will not seek to scrap the lèse majesté law, viewing it as a sensitive issue, but may advocate for leniency for individuals charged under it.
