In Thailand, the recently disbanded Move Forward opposition party has regrouped and announced it is now operating as the People’s Party.
Natthaphong Ruengpanyawut: “Without a doubt, we must win the 2027 election. In the next election, our goal is not just to be the leading party like in the 2023 election, but to win and form a single-party government. … The term 'people' in our party’s name is not just a name. According to our slogan, 'by the people, for the people,' we aim to create a country where ultimate power truly belongs to the people.”
The anti-establishment, youth-led Move Forward party won the most seats in the 2023 election but was blocked from taking power.
