A vote for change: The Hindu Editorial on the result of the Thai parliamentary election

The Hindu  

For Thai voters, the May 14 parliamentary election offered a stark choice between the royalist, military-backed government and the pro-democratic, reformist opposition. Both the Move Forward and the Pheu Thai have promised to stand up to the military, which captured power in 2014 through a coup, and address the country’s economic issues. The Move Forward, a political upstart led by 42-year-old Pita Limjaroenrat, is now leading coalition talks and has staked a claim to form the next government. The Move Forward’s promises helped the fledgling party easily connect with a public which was increasingly angered by Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha’s authoritarianism and the drying up of economic opportunities. The Opposition coalition has a majority in the 500-member elected House, but in Thailand’s 750-member bicameral Parliament, Mr. Pita would need the support of 376 legislators to form the government.
