Since forming on Friday as the party’s replacement for the dissolved Move Forward Party, The Women’s Party has received donations totaling more than 20 million baht and almost 40, 000 registered users.
A sizable crowd of supporters flocked to Stadium One in Bangkok’s Pathumwan area on Saturday to begin subscription.
As of 8 p.m. on Saturday, the party reported closing in on 40, 000 members and had received more than 20 million baht in funds. Its initial goal was to have its account fees in the amount of 10 million ringgit by August 31 when it launched on Friday. Within nine days, that number was reached.
The cost for a yearly membership is 50 ringgit. If a member wants a passport, there is a 150-baht fee. A career membership fees between 350 and 500 baht.
As it prepares for the 2027 general election, party chief Natthaphong Ruangpanyawut announced that the organization has set a goal of registering at least 100,000 people in a month.
Mr. Natthaphong praised the new side’s recognition, strong ties to the populace, and smooth transition from Move Forward, citing the quick growth in donations and healthy membership demand seen so far.
The Constitutional Court on Wednesday disbanded Move Forward, which had the remains of because of its lese-majeste law-related amendments, prompting the Women’s Party to rise.
The People’s Party is returning to the same place that its father did, according to Mr. Natthaphong.
By-election participant named
In addition to the court breakdown order, the party has nominated a prospect for the Phitsanulok by-election to change Padipat Suntiphada, one of 11 Move Forward professionals who was prohibited from social activity for ten years. ( Story continues below ).

Mr Padipat even served as deputy speaker of the House of Representatives, and the Women’s Party also plans to fight for that place since it has the largest account in the House, said Mr Natthaphong.
Since the laws for an MP from the main opposition party for the presenter and deputy speaker opportunities prevent that from happening, it is unclear how the group intends to continue. In order to get the officer’s position, Mr. Padipat had to arrange for his expulsion from Move Forward.  ,
The Women’s Party will continue to investigate ways to alter Part 112 of the Criminal Code, the lese-majeste law, as Mr. Natthaphong has vowed. He added, however, that it would carefully examine the court’s decision and not make any” careless” attempts.
If the partnership did not back down from attempting Part 112, the party would be treading on risky ground, according to coalition parties.
Thanakorn Wangboonkongchana, assistant chief of the United Thai Nation Party, criticised Mr Natthaphong’s commitment to remain pushing for an article to the rules, which he said protects the king and national security.
He suggested the People’s Party change its target to strategies to achieve financial recovery and increase people’s well-being.
Anusorn Iamsa-ard, a Pheu Thai record MP, said the aim of the Women’s Party’s to get an illegal majority in the House in the next election may be overly optimistic. He advised the party to first examine the results of the new municipal elections, in which Move Forward candidates were unable to win a chair.
