How will Thailand's election play out? Sudarat Pitakpornpunlop, a parliamentary candidate for the Bhumjaithai Party, speaks during her election campaign rally in Woen Buek village, Khong Chiam district, Ubon Ratchathani province, on Jan 24, 2026. Opinion polls consistently show the progressive People's Party is Thailand's most popular party. But it lacked parliamentary support to form a government, despite a pact with the second-placed Pheu Thai party. It regrouped again as People's Party, the English name commonly used by the Khana Ratsadon, which launched a 1932 revolution that ended Thailand's absolute monarchy.
