Will Thailand's election deliver a stable government? Bhumjaithai leader and caretaker Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul reacts at the party headquarters on the day of the general election on Sunday. Although Bhumjaithai lacks an outright majority, its 193 seats give Mr Anutin plenty of bargaining power. Clearing away one obstacle, the People's Party said on Sunday it would not form a competing alliance. The size of Bhumjaithai's win consolidates power to enable better governance if Mr Anutin can manage Thailand's stuttering economy ‌and ‍balance the interests of big business groups and powerful institutions.
