The Thai Future Forward Party was formed in 2018 when recognized by the Election Commission  (based upon platforms to restrain the military's power in Thai politics, decentralize the bureaucrary, and improve equality) and dissolved in 2020; it won 81 seats in parliament in 2019 elections, which was a better than expected result for a new party.
In the 2019 election, the party won 30 constituency seats in parliament and 50 party-list MPs, including Thanathorn and Piyabutr, a result significantly better than had been expected for a new party. It also later gained an additional seat from a by-election in Chiang Mai, giving it a total of 81 seats.
