Thailand’s Anutin readies for coalition talks after election win

BANGKOK, Thailand — Thailand’s caretaker Premier Anutin Charnvirakul was preparing for coalition talks on Monday after a stunning election victory for his conservative Bhumjaithai Party. Bhumjaithai was forecast by Channel 3 to have won almost 200 seats in Sunday’s vote, well ahead of others but short of an outright majority in the 500-member lower house.
