Thailand's Bhumjaithai party wins election and prepares to form a coalition government

Thailand's Bhumjaithai party, led by current Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul, has won the country's general election. The party is now set to lead coalition talks to form a new government.

The Pheu Thai party, a major political rival, has announced it will support Bhumjaithai in leading the coalition. While Bhumjaithai won the most votes, it did not secure an outright majority, meaning it must negotiate with other parties to govern.
