Conservative voters split between Bhumjaithai and Democrats - Thepthai
13 Sept 13:52Key points summarised by AI
Conservative voters are expected to split their support between the Bhumjaithai and Democrat parties in the upcoming general election, a division reminiscent of the 2019 polls.
The election is poised to be a close contest between the conservative Bhumjaithai and the progressive People's Party for leadership in forming a new coalition government.
Bhumjaithai gains an edge from the backing of right-wing groups like PAD and PDRC, who aim to defeat the People's Party, despite some conservative voters' hesitation regarding Newin Chidchob's influence.
The Democrats attract more moderate conservatives, partly due to their clearer stance against 'grey' businesses and scam activities.
