Pro-democracy opposition sweeps Thailand's 2023 election, dealing blow to military rule.

TL;DR Summary
Progressive parties in Thailand, including the Move Forward Party and Pheu Thai, have won a significant number of seats in the country's elections, indicating a desire for change from the current military-led regime. The Move Forward Party is projected to win the most seats and has called for institutional reforms, including altering the lese majeste laws and getting rid of the 2014 military-drafted constitution. However, it remains to be seen if they will be able to elect their preferred prime minister, as 376 members of parliament are needed and the military-appointed Senate holds significant power.
