Thailand's Election : A Conservative Comeback

Thailand’s February 8 general election resulted in a decisive lead for Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul’s Bhumjaithai Party (BJT), which secured 194 seats, while the People’s Party and Pheu Thai recorded notable declines. The outcome reflects voter support for parties emphasizing stability, nationalism, and the monarchy, particularly outside Bangkok. Although no party achieved an outright majority, BJT is in a strong position to form a coalition government. Despite the clearer electoral outcome, key structural issues—including modest economic growth, inequality, and political polarization—remain, leaving questions about the scope and pace of future reforms.
