Thailand's election is shaping up as a contest between pro-military conservatives and the populist opposition.
BANGKOK, Thailand – Thailand’s opposition bloc should stick together to dislodge the military from politics and form a government after an election in May, the leader of a popular opposition party told Reuters on the sidelines of a packed campaign rally on Saturday, April 22. 1
“It’s very clear that the current opposition is the right answer for the challenges being faced by Thailand, not the military-backed party that staged the coup,” Move Forward leader Pita Limjaroenrat, 42, told Reuters backstage at the rally. Former army chief Prayuth first seized power in a 2014 coup and stayed prime minister after the last election in 2019. He is contesting the upcoming election but recent opinion polls put him behind both Pheu Thai and Move Forward, who maintained first and second places.
