The swing vote -- particularly in Bangkok, where it hit a record 47.35% -- will be a decisive factor in determining victory for both the People's Party (PP) and Bhumjaithai (BJT). The situation is challenging for the PP, as undecided voters largely comprise those with no clear political affiliation and who are neither strongly left- nor right-leaning. As the survey indicates, pledges to curb grey influence in politics and crack down on corruption are, for now, insufficient to win over undecided voters. After the 2023 election, voters witnessed a dramatic realignment, with Pheu Thai forming a coalition with right-wing, pro-military parties.
