The latest reports indicate that the party of Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul is set to win the most seats in the national election. With over half of the ballots counted, his Bhumjaithai party holds a substantial lead, and local television networks project it will become the largest group in parliament.

This outcome is viewed as a significant setback for the pro-democracy movement, led by the People's party, which currently sits in second place. Although the leader of the People's party has conceded defeat, he encouraged his supporters to remain determined and continue their fight for change.
