Voter trust key to Bhumjaithai’s success, says Anutin
Anutin said the party would review the numbers and local factors once the count is clearer, declining to speculate on alliances while some constituencies may still face disputes or constraints.
- Bhumjaithai Party leader Anutin Charnvirakul stated it is too early to discuss forming a coalition government.
- He is waiting for the Election Commission (EC) to announce the official election results, as the final number of MPs per party is still unknown.
- Anutin stressed that the process must follow legal and constitutional procedures, and clarity is needed before any talks can begin.
- He declined to confirm whether he had started contacting other political parties, reiterating the need to wait for official outcomes.
Anutin Charnvirakul, leader of the Bhumjaithai Party, gave an interview on Monday (February 9) on the party’s direction after learning the preliminary election results.
He said the party’s victories in many areas stemmed from public confidence in Bhumjaithai’s consistently clear approach to its work.
Regarding the analysis that the party had benefited from a “nationalist” wave, particularly by elevating border-related issues as a key selling point leading to its success, Anutin said he would need to return to assess the details and various factors carefully once again.
On the formation of a new government, Anutin stressed that everything must proceed in accordance with the legal process and the Constitution.
As the Election Commission (EC) has not yet announced official results, the exact number of MPs won by each party remains unknown.
It is also still unclear whether there will be problems or constraints in any constituencies, meaning it is too early to set a clear timeframe for government formation.
However, Anutin insisted the public should not worry about any administrative “vacuum”, as a caretaker government remains in place and can continue running the country in full.
Towards the end of the interview, Anutin declined to answer questions about whether he had begun contacting or speaking with other political parties to build a coalition to form a government, saying briefly that clarity on all fronts was needed first.
