For many voters, the Fab Three symbolised competence, stability and results-driven governance -- qualities that resonated amid economic uncertainty and geopolitical volatility. Yet as BJT prepares to govern with a commanding mandate, observers caution that its greatest test may lie not in winning power but in managing it. Concerns are mounting that entrenched interests -- within BJT and among coalition partners -- could constrain the Fab Three's ability to execute policy. Should internal or coalition pressures significantly impede the Fab Three, BJT risks a credibility gap between its electoral mandate and governing performance. A Pheu Thai executive described the decision to join a BJT-led government as a political gamble with "50-50" odds.
