The coalition will comprise Bhumjaithai as the core party with 193 MPs, joined by Pheu Thai with 74 and smaller parties totalling 33 seats. Key party figures were also keen to project a positive image for the new administration, led by Bhumjaithai leader Anutin Charnvirakul, said the source.

Thamanat, the de facto leader of Klatham, also said that concern about the credibility of the Feb 8 election was more worrying than coalition negotiations.
