At this moment, Anutin Charnvirakul, leader of the Bhumjaithai Party, is basking in the spotlight, surrounded by MPs after the People's Party (PPLE) resolved to support his bid to become Thailand's 32nd Prime Minister.
This comes amid speculation of a "secret deal" and ongoing issues within the "Blue faction," including the controversial "Senate collusion" and the Khao Kradong land case, where state agencies are moving forward with legal action against those involved.
