Bangkok: "Olar" suggests keeping an eye on the new government formula: "Bhumjaithai" joining forces with "Pheu Thai," leaving "Kla Tham" disappointed. Associate Professor Dr. Olar Thinbangtiao, a lecturer at the Faculty of Political Science and Law, Burapha University, commented on this development during the "Share the News" program on MCOT NEWS FM 100.5. He assessed a new political formula, "Blue-Red-Sky," involving an alliance between the Bhumjaithai Party, the Pheu Thai Party, and the Democrat Party to create an image of overcoming conflict and increasing flexibility in governing the country.
According to Thai News Agency, this trend may force the Kla Tham Party and the Prachachon Party to assume a joint opposition role. Meanwhile, the Pheu Thai Party and the Bhumjaithai Party are seen as having a high chance of forming a coalition government due to their close ties with business groups and party leaders. However, they still face the crucial challenge of managing power and allocating ministerial positions effectively before fully beginning the process of governing the country.
In the overall political landscape, the Kla Tham Party has successfully reached its voter base through a "big house at the district level" strategy, penetrating deeper into local areas than at the provincial level. It also utilizes the mechanisms of the Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives and the Ministry of Education to drive crop price policies and community activities. Meanwhile, the Bhumjaithai Party is becoming vulnerable due to the management of numerous internal political factions or "factions," similar to the Thai Rak Thai Party of the past, which could pose a risk to the allocation of political positions.
Within the Pheu Thai Party, disagreements are evident, with two factions: those seeking to join the government to showcase achievements and pave the way for the next election, and advisors proposing the party remain in opposition to preserve its ideology and long-term standing. Meanwhile, the People's Party, despite high popularity in the party-list system, continues to lose at the constituency level due to a lack of grassroots work and local networks.
However, regarding the campaign to invalidate the election, this remains factually unlikely. It would require proof of fraud or illegitimacy in the vote counting process within a sufficiently large number of polling stations, significantly impacting the overall election result.
