The Move Forward Party (MFP) is gaining momentum as Thailand’s General Election approaches, in accordance with a current pre-election ballot conducted by the National Institute of Development Administration (NIDA). While the Pheu Thai Party continues to steer in terms of constituency and party-list Members of Parliament (MPs), the MFP is rapidly gaining reputation.
