Thailand votes 2026: PM Anutin and Bhumjaithai confident of return to power
Thailand's Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul heads into a snap election on Feb 8 after dissolving parliament less than three months into his term – a high-stakes gamble aimed at securing a full four-year mandate. Yet, he's quietly confident of leading his Bhumjaithai Party into a full term. CNA's Saksith Saiyasombut examines how the career politician once labelled a "kingmaker" plans to stay in power - and whether this marks the rise of a new dynasty.
