Bangkok: Candidates from the People's Democratic Party (PDP), Bhumjaithai Party (BJT), and Pheu Thai Party (PT) are closely observing the election results without speculating on a government formation strategy. They emphasize the exclusion of candidates with questionable qualifications. Meanwhile, the Democrat Party (DP) asserts that the public deserves transparency regarding potential ministerial appointments.

According to Thai News Agency, during a debate on the election, Ms. Sirikanya was asked about potential alliances if the People's Party emerged victorious. She expressed the need to await the final vote count to assess each party's standing. She suggested that if the People's Party needed to partner with either Bhumjaithai or Pheua Thai, they should consider the third-ranked party instead to avoid conflicts arising from a close vote count. Ms. Sirikanya highlighted the importance of policy compatibility, noting that Bhumjaithai's fewer policies could simplify coordination, while Pheu Thai's extensive policies might require careful consideration for feasibility.

Mr. Abhisit raised concerns that the People's Party's criteria for selecting ministers could complicate negotiations. Ms. Sirikanya countered that the suitability of candidates should be based on their expertise and policy alignment. She outlined three conditions for coalition negotiations: excluding the Kla Tham Party, not supporting Mr. Anutin Charnvirakul for Prime Minister, and establishing a publicly disclosed Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) detailing the coalition's joint policies and methods. Additionally, she called for accountability for any minister found guilty of misconduct.

Mr. Sihasak emphasized the need for policy compatibility among parties. He noted potential issues if Bhumjaithai won but the People's Party opposed Anutin Charnvirakul as Prime Minister. He supported the idea of vetting ministers and agreed on the necessity of a unified mission to elevate political standards.

Mr. Chulapan advised against forming alliances prematurely, stressing the importance of honoring the electorate's choice and awaiting the final vote count. He emphasized the significance of public scrutiny of candidates' backgrounds. He cautioned against using historical events as constraints, asserting that they could lead to a political deadlock. He urged parties to avoid premature declarations of non-alliance to prevent futile outcomes.

Mr. Abhisit advocated for public awareness of ministerial appointments beforehand. He stated that if the core policies address illegal finances, corruption, and division, he is willing to collaborate with any party, provided these principles are upheld.
