Thailand's recent general election has resulted in a significant victory for the conservative Bhumjaithai Party, led by Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul. According to Business Recorder, with 94% of the votes counted, Bhumjaithai secured 193 of the 500 seats in parliament, a result that exceeded expectations and prompted a 3% rise in Thai stocks. This outcome marks a shift in the country's political landscape, as noted by ABC International, which described it as a 'conservative comeback.' The election was called in December amid a border conflict with Cambodia, a strategic move by Anutin that capitalized on rising nationalism, as highlighted by Dawn. The victory is seen as a potential stabilizing force in Thai politics after years of turbulence, with coalition talks expected to follow, as reported by The Hindu.
