Seeking stability
Thai political parties – one as young as one month old – are gearing up for the kingdom’s first national election since 2011, when Pheu Thai’s Yingluck Shinawatra was vaulted into power. She was ousted by a military coup just three years later. Supporters of Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha, who was behind her ouster, are widely expected to push for his return to premiership after the Feb 24 vote.
