The Thaiger – Buriram Residents Call on New PM to Address Tensions with Cambodia

Article Summary:

Following the release of unofficial election results on February 9, residents in Buriram province, near the Cambodian border, expressed optimism regarding the resolution of their long-standing security concerns. This sentiment comes as the Bhumjaithai Party leads the results with nearly 200 parliamentary seats, including both constituency and party-list representatives.

The Bhumjaithai Party’s commanding lead positions its leader, Anutin Charnvirakul, as a strong contender to reclaim the prime ministership.
