Thailand's Election Commission is set to officially announce the May 14th general election results following a thorough verification of vote counts from all 400 constituencies.
The Move Forward party leads with 151 House seats (combining constituency and party-list), a slight decrease from unofficial polls due to a corrected vote count in Prachin Buri.
Pheu Thai secured the second-highest number of seats with 141, while Bhumjaithai ranked third with 71 House seats.
The election witnessed a high voter turnout of 75.71%, with over 39.5 million ballots cast out of 52.2 million eligible voters.
