The Kla Tham Party is waiting for the Bhumjaithai Party to invite it to join the government, affirming there are no conditions and noting their policies align. They point out that the 2026 election results, adjusted for poll effects, reflect the intensive ground campaigns of parliamentary candidates, proving there is no gray area—only vibrant green.
At 10:30 a.m. on 9 Feb 2026 GMT+7, Navy Officer Anudit Nakornthap, Chairman of Strategy for the Kla Tham Party (KTh), gave an interview about the current election seat count for Kla Tham, saying it stands at 57-59 seats, pending official results from the Election Commission (EC). When asked if the targeted northern region was successful, Anudit said, "It was very successful. We thank the public for their trust, expecting about 10 seats across northern provinces. Regarding whether 57 seats exceed the target, Anudit said that according to Lieutenant Colonel Thammanat Prompao, party advisor and prime ministerial candidate, our numbers are around this level."
Asked about previous views that Kla Tham lacked momentum but now met targets, Anudit said the party is contesting parliamentary seats for the first time. Unlike established parties with high public popularity, Kla Tham is new and must prove itself on the ground. This is an advantage since candidates and party executives prioritize direct contact with people to communicate policies clearly, ensuring they resonate. Polls by various institutes may not fully capture this grassroots support, so Kla Tham’s popularity might be underestimated.
, Regarding whether there are signals of an invitation to join the government, Anudit replied that they are waiting for the Bhumjaithai Party (BJT), the government formation leader, to communicate with Kla Tham’s executives. The party executives will then meet to consider and vet which parties to invite. If Kla Tham is invited to join, they will announce it to the media.
When asked if Kla Tham still insists on managing the Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives, Anudit said they had declared during the campaign that after 20 years of national turmoil, they want to move beyond conflict. Therefore, if any party is ready to work for the people's benefit, they will not refuse. Kla Tham and Bhumjaithai policies generally align.
, Regarding Kla Tham’s conditions for joining the government, , Anudit stated, "We have never had conditions, as long as the party clearly intends to benefit the people." Asked if they would support constitutional amendments if the government proceeds, Anudit confirmed support, saying it reflects the majority voice of the public.
When asked why many provinces trusted and elected Kla Tham candidates, Anudit said the key reason remains the same: the candidate selection process focused on individual merit. All candidates commit to party policies and continuously meet voters face-to-face. He believes Kla Tham candidates met and talked with at least 50,000-60,000 people before election day to understand problems and clearly present comprehensive policies addressing basic public issues.
Anudit added that while other parties may have different policy communication methods, Kla Tham emphasizes real fieldwork and direct engagement with citizens, providing clear policy solutions. Other parties also have good policies, but Kla Tham attributes its success to the hard work of all candidates. Party leaders agree that ground work is crucial, so Kla Tham may not appear often on debate stages but focuses on direct contact and listening to people's problems. This, they believe, is why voters trust Kla Tham candidates.
Regarding public popularity assessments, Anudit said scientific methods analyze strengths, weaknesses, and ways to improve. Lieutenant Colonel Thammanat often stresses that knowing both oneself and the opponent increases chances of success. He confirmed no unearned benefits were received, as they worked hard in every area. Unofficial results show many districts where Kla Tham came second, trailing winners by only a few hundred votes, a promising sign for a new party contesting nationally for the first time. The party sees this election as a lesson to study, improve, and advance toward becoming an institutionalized political party.
Asked how they will maintain their seats after winning, Anudit said, "This marks the beginning for Kla Tham, which includes candidates from other parties joining. Election results show party stability, with most former MPs who switched to Kla Tham retaining seats, and only a few losing. We thank the public for trusting Kla Tham and giving our representatives a chance in parliament. We will fully seize this opportunity to work for the people and uphold our social contract."
When asked about accusations that Kla Tham is a gray-area party rather than the green represented in its logo, Anudit responded, "Today it has been proven that the gray color spoken of does not exist; it is green—and vibrant green."
