BANGKOK: In what came as a surprise to many, Thailand’s opposition Pheu Thai party won 138 seats in the House of Representatives.
However, the winners of 150 of the lower house seats are still unclear, Thailand’s Election Commission said after the country’s first vote since a 2014 coup.
The overall winner of yesterday’s polls may not emerge for weeks. The Election Commission said it will announce the official results on May 9.
Pheu Thai is allied with former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra. He was overthrown in a 2006 coup. (Agencies)
