Thailand’s opposition Move Forward and Pheu Thai parties won the most seats in Sunday’s election, paving the way for a challenge to a military status quo after nearly a decade of government led or backed by the army.
Parliamentary seats are distributed based on 400 open constituency seats and 100 ‘party-list’ seats – or seats won by parties based on their share of national votes.
Below are preliminary results of Sunday’s ballot, according to the Election Commission of Thailand, which were updated on Monday with 99% of the vote counted. The tabulation of party-list seats is based on a Reuters tally of voting data from the election commission.
