Current Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul has won a confident victory in Thailand's early elections on Sunday. His conservative and monarchist Thai Pride Party is expected to win nearly two hundred seats in the five-hundred-seat parliament. Its main challenger, the Thai People's Party, is expected to finish with around 120 seats, based on a 95% vote count.
"Our people have given us more than we expected this morning. For that, we owe a huge debt to our voters, and we can only repay it by doing our best to bring good things to them and to our country," the prime minister said in his victory speech.
