Pheu Thai party leaders speak to media following unofficial results | Video

Bangkok, May 14 (EFE).- Thailand's pro-democracy opposition parties were on track to win the nation's general election Sunday as they looked to end almost nine years of military governments through a coalition with one of the country’s most popular formations.

With 97 percent of ballots counted, the Move Forward party led the polls with 113 constituency seats and 13.4 million party-list votes, while the Pheu Thai party followed closely with 112 and 10.3 party-list votes – fewer than those needed to form a coalition government but far more than the incumbent Palang Pracharath’s 39 seats. The election commission said it would publish the unofficial preliminary results Monday at 10:30am (3:30am GMT.) (Camera: RUNGROJ YONGRIT).
