Two months on from Move Forward winning the most seats in elections, Thais will find out whether the party’s leader can become prime minister
Thailand’s parliament will gather for a high stakes vote on Thursday that will determine whether the leader of the country’s most popular and progressive party can take power after almost a decade of rule by the former army chief who seized power in a military coup.
The progressive Move Forward party, which campaigned promising major reforms to the economy and the country’s power structures, shocked opponents by winning the most seats in May’s election.
