TL;DR

Opposition parties in Thailand have formed a coalition to prevent the military establishment from remaining in power and to form a new government. The coalition includes eight parties, with Move Forward Party winning the largest share of seats and the popular vote. The coalition needs to win a majority of 376 seats in both houses of Thailand’s parliament to elect a prime minister and form a government. The party’s proposed structural changes to the military include getting rid of the draft, reducing the budget, making it more transparent and accountable, and reducing the number of generals.
