MFP maintains lead after nearly all votes counted

It’s midnight in Thailand right now, and nearly 80 percent of all votes have now been counted.

MFP continues to maintain its stunning lead, according to results published on the elections commission website, and is on track to win some 114 of the 400 directly-elected constituency seats.

These include nearly all of the 33 seats in Bangkok.

MFP is also expected to take more than 30 of the 100 party-list seats.

The second-placed Pheu Thai looks set to win some 111 directly-elected seats and 25 of the party-list seats.

Here’s what the preliminary result looks like

With more than 82 percent of the vote counted, here’s where things stand:

• MFP is on track to win 115 constituency seats and 33 percent of the party-list seats
• Pheu Thai looks set to win 112 constituency seats and 25 percent of party-list seats
• Bhumjaithai, which spearheaded the campaign to legalise marijuana in Thailand, is projected to win 65 constituency seats and 2 percent of the party list seats
• Palang Pracharat, led by the prime minister’s deputy Prawith Wongsuwan, looks set to win 40 constituency seats and 1 percent of the party list seats.
• Prayuth’s United Thai Nation party will probably win 25 of the constituency seats 10 percent of the party list seats.
• The Democrat Party is on track to win 20 of the constituency seats and 2 percent of the party list seats.

I’m so glad that young voters have turned up this election as evident from the numbers of Move Forward Party. It’s incredible and emotional to see. They were the ones who mobilized the democracy protests over the years, relentlessly standing up against monarchy and Prayuth's government. Prayuth can choke after making people’s lives living hell.

 

Never forget.

Thaksin's daughter is currently 2nd. It's a little embarrassing for Pheu Thai, no? 

 

I see the actors that I follow have their pictures taken within the voting compound, they all seem pretty excited.
