A pro-military political party in Thailand has taken an unexpected lead in the country's first election since the army took power five years ago.
The preliminary result is unexpected, with the Palang Pracha Rath Party initially predicted by many to come third.More than 50 million people were eligible to vote, but turnout was reportedly just 64%, AFP news agency reported. The statement, which was featured on national television on Saturday evening, urged voters to"support the good people".The election is seen primarily as a contest between pro-military parties and allies of Mr Thaksin.
Among other prominent parties are the Democrats, led by former prime minister Abhisit Vejjajiva, and the new Future Forward party, led by a young telecoms billionaire, Thanatorn Juangroongruangkit. Sunday's vote would have been to elect 500 members of the lower house of parliament. But under the constitution, a 250-seat senate has been appointed by the military.
