He is buoyed by a steady influx of political groups and influential families choosing to align with the party including Chartthaipat-tana Party leader Varawut Silpa-archa.

Mr Anutin said his team is accelerating preparations for the election. When asked whether his long-term ambition was to return as prime minister, Mr Anutin answered that his only goal was to earn greater public trust.

On becoming the largest party, he said Bhumjaithai would simply work hard, deliver on its promises, and let results speak for themselves.

He said every policy promised to the people will be implemented to the fullest extent, so citizens can see tangible results.
