Reformist PM candidate in Thailand pledges to form ‘the people’s government’

BANGKOK: The leader of Thailand’s reformist party, which was ahead in opinion polls, promised Sunday to form a government after casting his ballot.
Natthaphong Ruengpanyawut said he expected his People’s Party to “get the mandate from the people,” adding: “We promise to the people that we’ll form the people’s government.”
In its previous incarnation, the party came first at the last election in 2023 but was never able to take power and was later dissolved.
