The
Pheu Thai Party (
PTP) (; ; ;
For Thais Party (FTP) is the majority coalition party of
Thailand and has strong electoral support. The party was evolved as the third incarnation of a
Thai political party originally founded by former prime minister
Thaksin Shinawatra. The Pheu Thai Party was founded on 20 September 2008, as an anticipated replacement for the
People's Power Party (PPP), which
Constitutional Court of Thailand dissolved less than three months later after finding party members guilty of electoral fraud. The People's Power Party was itself a replacement for Thaksin's original
Thai Rak Thai (TRT) party which the Constitutional Court dissolved in May 2007 for violation of electoral laws.
