- Thailand's two main opposition parties agreed on Monday to form a ruling coalition after the Move Forward party came out on top in the general election, a major blow to military-backed rivals that have controlled the government for nearly a decade.
Pita Limjaroenrat, Move Forward's party leader, did a victory lap in Bangkok on Monday where thousands of supporters had gathered - some in the streets, others on rooftops.
Limjaroenrat has proposed an alliance of six parties that would command 309 seats. That would be short of the 376 seats needed to ensure he was elected as prime minister.
Move Forward was galvanized by a wave of excitement among the youth over its liberal agenda and promises of bold changes, including breaking up monopolies and reforming a law on insulting the monarchy.

I hope Thai's military and the 250 Senators respect and accept the voices of Thai's people.
As a Thai, I'm grateful for your statement because the whole world knows that 250 Senetors has been setup for the military junta government. Pita and the coalition parties need only 67 votes from the Senetors to become the next PM.
Senators should have their own opinion cause they are supposed to be specialist in each field. Move Forward arent the majority of the voter they are not even half, This constitution isn't kind of winer take it all but got to listen to every groups and compromise if the other parties can join together and become more than the number of Move Forward seat. Then Senator got every right to support that side too if they see fit. If Move forward is that good, the other parties would have joined them already. The party that hard to work with and also trouble maker none of the sane party will ever join them.
@@lucca_lee Pheu Thai already agreed to a coalition government with MFP and 4 other parties giving the new MFP-PT government 310 seats out of 500
Sadly most of them already siad they will not vote for Pitha.
I have leant something which is complicated and the new lawmakers perhaps need to review some Constitutions related to particular those matters. It seems that those counted votes in some point are currupted by founder's groups. Thanks.
So proud of him and our people that voted for him 🇹🇭 🧡
We are so proud of you, Pita 🎉 🧡🧡🧡
That's good ,Way Forward for Thailand's people ..
The people has spoken
Congratulations Move Forward Party 🧡🇹🇭
Pita is the only hope for change in Thailand. We were so proud of him when we heard his victory after the election. However, the mood is swinging here because the huge obstacle is the old conservative senators that interfere with the vote for the prime minister in the parliament. They strongly support the conservative, not liberal, party. We are now so scared that we will be robbed the victory. We love you and we voted for democracy, Move Forward Party!!!
The 250 senators should be dissolved too.
That's the next thing when Pita become a real prime minister. Now all the 250 senetors and military party seems to be hanging by a thread. You will definitely see Thailand in a different way for sure. Thai people are qualified enough to compete with the 1st world countries but the government doesn't support them.
As was pointed out. The PM is chosen by the Combined House and Senat. The Senate's 250 votes are appointed by the military. Winning over 60% on the elected seats may not be enough to win the PM. Fingers crossed for democracy.
Countries like Thailand, Burma, Indonesia, Cambodia, etc. are all "fingers crossed" 2nd and 3rd world countries that are "democratic" in names only. The military rulers could take power ANY time they feel like it. This is what happens, when military leaders & autocrats run societies and not the other way around.
Very happy to see this happened in Thailand and congratulations to Move Forward Party 🎈
Congratulations Thailand's youth! Well done 👏👏
Thank you❤
Swaddee khap : I am indigenous Montagnard love Thailand
Move Forward Party deserves victory . Their pragmatic leader Pita and supporters worked very hard to win. The political landscape of Thailand will change without the military backed ruling party. Democratic changes and reforms in store.
IN DEEDS !!
.... THY WILL.. BE !!
. Done !!

Congratulations Thailand!..fr Malaysia 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you❤
Thank you 🧡
Help Thailand becomes a real Democracy and the world can be better from this point, I believe. We now only have possible block from our Congress whose members are picked by the last PM by hands. Let’s send voices all around for Democracy. My name is Ms. Voranart Sirisubsoontorn, a Thai mother.
Real Democracy 😂 lol Ukraine is a “real” Democracy like Thailand backed by a Western Agendas and looked how it turned out!
Congratulations 💐 to the winning Government ™\NGP
Change your laws, senators must be mandated by the people of Thailand in a national election.
We pushed it once 2 yrs ago (failed) - the problem is we need the majority votes of the two parliaments (MP & Senate) to pass that bill.
Luckily, this kind of weird senate power will exist until July of the following year - tho, we still need to find ways to pressure them for the upcoming selection of the PM.
@@TonyS37 Pita needs pure luck. The only chance left for him with the help of Thais.
Such a large number of appointed senators is not democratic. The voices of the masses must be heard.
the Thai Senate appointed by the military reminds me of the composition of the Indonesian parliament during the military dictatorship of General Suharto, in the 1990s, out of 500 members of the Indonesian parliament, 100 members are military representatives and appointed by the military
The problem is we have 250 members of the upper house appointed by the royalist military. Although this time democratic parties have earned around 310 seats in the lower house consisting of 500 seats, which is more than a half but still they couldn't form a government until now. Don't you think it's weird ? It's because 250 members of the upper house have the right to vote for a prime minister. So, the the royalist parties of the lower house don't have to be the majority as they have 250 votes from the upper house in their hands, readily to support them. Which is sad.
@@poonakanwanaeloh7858 Yes, I know that's very sad, cutting the voting rights of Thai civilians, who account for more than 99% of the total population, instead only get 66.7% of parliamentary seats. For some reason, Thailand, which was lucky to have a democratic constitution in 1997, chose the old and outdated Indonesian way. CMIIW, the majority of Thailand citizen support the 2017 constitution through a referendum, where this constitution requires all members of the Senate or one third of all members of parliament to be appointed by the military. I don't know whether the results of this referendum are credible or not
Military and royalist don't like him
that's the big problem of new gen
true, they are afriad of lising power.
Exactly, They're afriad a democratic process
Great to see. The big question is what will the military do?
I'm from Thailand. 🇹🇭
ok
Still a long way to get a real domocracy but don't give up, I support you Thailand.
There are still many obstacles for Pita and MFP before he could be elected as PM and MFP as government.
I can understand the sensation, dreams and hope of these people especially younger people.
But If you think that the old establishments will just sit and watch them forming the coalition to lead the country, think again.
They will make sure to strike where it hurts the most.
congratulations pita
Thank you for the good news 🙏
🙌🇹🇭
Remarkable and exellent
Yesssss!! Wonderful news!!❤
We love Pita & Move Forward Party 🧡🍊
Congratulations Thailand 🧡🧡
Thank you❤
Congratulations from loan
I'm sure the CIA wasn't at all involved in influencing the outcome. We would never do that kind of thing...🥴
Congratulation
Thank you😊
For sure the king will intervene. He will use his influence to the appointed senators of the military. The water of politics is too murky for Pita.
Democracy ✊✊✊
Good a new dawn for Thailand
Very handsome. He will win
He did...thank you❤
Maybe he should talk a bit further away from the microphone

Been a long time in coming and hope the military keep adhering to a democratic process. Had businesses in Chiang Mai while Thaksin was in power. Life was good in those days.
Giovane e motivato…??
And the military are just gonna roll over and submit are they? I lived in BKK through 3 coups.
Let's hope he doesn't turn out to be another Trudeau.

Can anyone tell me what *"voting"* means?
Hello! I from North Korea. I also don't know what means voting. I also have different question. What is love?
voting = a formal indication of a choice between two or more candidates or courses of action, expressed typically through a ballot or a show of hands or by voice
a formal expression of opinion or choice made by an individual or body of individuals, especially in an election.

Did you observe the reverence for the last monarch? If you think that with an election win you have a mandate to dismantle a pillar of what it means to be a person from this place, then you're missing something, I think.
Why do you think reverence for the monarch is a pillar of what it means to be from Thailand 😂. Whether the last one or the current one, I, and many people, could care less.
Dictator Prayut Chan-o-cha. 9years
Don't fool yourselves. The general already won even before the vote.

@@voldemore6300 KK! up to u. But this term "u" is short word of "you".
@@user-sp4if8vc8t shortening the word make you guy understand how democracy really is better ?…. up to you…? Where would you learn english form…??? I think you thinking process is some kind of shot-cut and not strong enough to say whether you understand democracy better than the other comments… 🤣🤣
@@voldemore6300 Did u know about slangs?
Help please spread this message to all countries, but now senators now rejecting democracy by not voting for Pitha to form a government. Now the senators do not respect the majority of the people in deciding this election, Senators are betraying the people for their own good "Now thailand is losing democracy at the hands of the Senate appointed by Prayuth 😢😢😢
Too early to celebrate for this greenish and orange young man kap.🤫
