BANGKOK -- Thailand's Pheu Thai Party on Wednesday announced it has formed an anti-junta coalition with six other parties, including billionaire Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit's Future Forward, with the parties claiming they have enough seats for a majority in the lower house.
"Seven parties will join together to stop [the junta] from remaining in power," Sudarat Keyuraphan, Pheu Thai's prime ministerial candidate, told reporters. She said she hopes other parties will join the coalition, which is loosely aligned with exiled former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra.
