Bhumjaithai’s Anutin announces coalition, eyes premiership

21 Sept 03:15 Key points summarised by AI

Bhumjaithai leader Anutin Charnvirakul declared his readiness to become Thailand's next prime minister, announcing he has secured enough support to form a new coalition government.
The new coalition, formed after the previous PM's ousting, aims to resolve national problems and restore peace and stability, confident in their ability to succeed where past governments failed.
Crucial support from the People party is contingent on specific conditions, including a referendum on constitutional amendments, conflict resolution, and a pledge to dissolve the House and call a general election within four months.
Anutin emphasized that Bhumjaithai MPs would not hold government positions, focusing solely on problem-solving and swiftly returning power to the people through early elections.
