"We will keep fighting...no matter how many months we have to support democratic principles," an activist said on stage drawing cheers from the crowd at a busy intersection in central Bangkok.Move Forward's policies put it on collision course with Thailand's nexus of royalist military, old money elites and conservative forces.
Move Forward's eight-party coalition includes the populist Pheu Thai party and controls a majority in the 500-member lower house. Under the military-drafted constitution, the next prime minister must secure more than half the votes in the bicameral legislature, which includes 249 members the junta appointed after it seized power in 2014. They have sided with conservative parties.
Another vote on the premiership is scheduled for Thursday when Move Forward coalition ally Pheu Thai will propose a candidate who is largely expected to be political newcomer real estate tycoon Srettha Thavisin.
