In other news, Bhumjaithai, the conservative party has won the most seats in the general elections. As described by Ken Lohatepanont from The Coffee Parliament: "This will be the first time in the 21st century that a conservative party has won the most seats in a general election". More information about Bhumjaithai party below.

Bhumjaithai is currently the core government party. Bhumjaithai began life as a mid-sized localist party based in Buriram province under the guidance of Newin Chidchob, before making a splash in 2019 with a medical marijuana-friendly policy. It has been seen as a pragmatic party, allying first with the Prayut Chan-o-cha coalition and then the Pheu Thai coalition. Now, however, Bhumjaithai is vying to become one of the largest parties. It has rebranded as a conservative force, with a strong commitment to defending the royal institution. The party has emphasized that it has delivered in past three months, arguing that “the economy is improving…we have returned Thailand to the world stage and protected the country’s honor.” Bhumjaithai pledges that if elected for another term, its team of technocrats, including Finance Minister Ekniti Nitithanpraphas and Commerce Minister Supajee Suthumpun will continue in office as deputy prime ministers.

And before you Tumblrinas go make some sweeping statements about how conservative Thailand has always been, I highly suggest everyone browse through various posts by Ken from The Coffee Parliament for more context on Thailand’s 2026 General Election.

So, conservative party Bhumjaithai winning the most seats was not the straightforward election narrative political analysts had in mind prior to 2025, as noted by Ken in his piece '2026 Election: Closing Thoughts'.

Looking through slides for a presentation that I had made in 2023 a few months after the general election, I saw that I had described the grand compromise between Pheu Thai and the conservative parties as a surprise for voters, even if for politicians it may have been long in the coming. “This could point towards a Move Forward landslide at the next election as they are the only party to have kept their ideological purity,” I had written in my presenter notes. The stage did indeed seem set for a pretty straightforward election. Move Forward, or whatever party succeeded it, was polling at stratospheric levels. Betrayed Pheu Thai voters and angry Move Forward voters would likely combine and significantly increase the orange camp’s seat haul. Things are easy for political analysts when we can tell clear narratives. It looked likely that this election would go according to this storyline extending from 2023. And then, as Harold Macmillan would have known, events happened and washed it all away. The Cambodian conflict, the fall of Pheu Thai, and the emergence of the Bhumjaithai government with the support of the People’s Party upended that narrative.
