With nearly 20 percent of the vote counted, Pheu Thai is leading in the count for constituency seats.

Move Forward Party comes in at a close second.

For party-list seats, MFP is leading while Pheu Thai is at second.

Pita Limjaroenrat, leader of the Move Forward Party, has told reporters he is “very happy” with the survey results he has seen so far.

The numbers indicate MFP could win more than 100 seats in the 500-member house, he said. “And looking at Pheu Thai numbers, I think our two parties should be able to form a government,” he added.

Pheu Thai and MFP need to win 376 seats to establish a government.

This is because the prime minister is selected by a simple majority of a joint vote of the 500-member lower house and the Senate, whose 250 members were not elected but appointed during military rule.
