Thailand's Election: Dynasty vs. Military, Young Radicals Shake Up Politics.

Thailand is set to hold its first general election since the 2014 military coup, with the Shinawatra political dynasty pitted against the country's military rulers. The election is seen as a test of the military's commitment to democracy, with the junta having rewritten the constitution to limit the power of elected officials. The Shinawatras, who have won every election since 2001, have been accused of corruption and abuse of power, but remain popular with many rural voters.
