👉 Neutral Democratic Party in the context of Bhumjaithai Party

Bhumjaithai Party (BJT; Thai: พรรคภูมิใจไทย, lit. 'Thai Pride Party') is a major conservative populist political party in Thailand. It was founded on 5 November 2008, in anticipation of the 2 December 2008 Constitutional Court ruling that dissolved its de facto predecessor, the Neutral Democratic Party (PMT), along with the People's Power Party (PPP) and the Thai Nation Party. After the dissolutions, former members of the PMT and the Friends of Newin (KPW) faction of the PPP, defected to this party. Currently, it is the party in the minority government.

Bhumjaithai has a populist platform, since some of the policies were drawn from Thaksin Shinawatra's populist Thai Rak Thai party and its second incarnation, the PPP. The party has a strong base in Buriram Province.
