The Justice Unity Party won the parliamentary election in March 1992 and nominated Suchinda Kraprayoon to become prime minister.[1] In the following conflict between the military-backed government and the pro-democratic movement, Thai media counted the party among the so-called "devil parties". After the bloody crackdown on the oppositional movement ("Black May"), the party was discredited and most of its representatives deserted it to join more promising parties, mainly the National Development Party.[3]
