Move Forward leader Pita Limjaroenrat officially announced the formation of his coalition government with seven others parties on Monday, about a week after the general election.
He said at a press conference today that it is a historic day because it is the ninth anniversary of the last coup in Thailand. The formation of the government marks a peaceful transition in Thai politics, he said.

All the parties will work with honesty and if an individual is found to be involved in corruption or malfeasance, they would terminated immediately.
All the parties will work in honour of one another and with sincerity by holding onto the people's interest, not the individual party's.
