Anutin: Too Early for Coalition Talks Amid Thai Vote Count

With the huge amount of irregularities at the voting polls i would not be surprised if the election results are voided .

I believe that we only can a few of the many mistakes and fraud that happened during these elections. I hope the court will null them and new elections must be held. And all stations that have mistakes should appoint new members and counters which are trustworthy ... maybe with an official lawyer

Fat chance. Those with 'voiding power' will be well-satisfied with the results of the election.

That happens only when the election results come out 'wrong'.

But that doesn't mean that members of 'wrong' parties aren't about to feel the lash.

He’s saying the right thing in public, because until the ECT locks the numbers, any coalition deal just gives opponents ammunition. Still, with around 90% counted and Bhumjaithai sitting near the 190-seat mark, the real horse trading will already be happening quietly with all the noise about irregularities and recounts.

Will not happen, as the elite are satisfied with the result.

You go find the trustworthy, please. If you find more than five, I will salute you Sir.

Yeah, he is making a sensible comment. Fraud or not, this will be the result that we are looking at. They already know who to get in bed with. 🙂

Doubt it. BJT was the party the establishment wanted as it was seen as the only party that could keep PP from govt. The results IMO will stand regardless of "irregularities".

And the EC claimed the elections went with no problems.. I suppose this time it is worse than ever, and we all can notice that the Thai people don't accept it anymore...Apparently there are 1 million votes missing, several recounts will be done. Even Mr Anutin is surprised by the result as it is more than expected. Indeed as People's Party was in all polls the leader every time the difference with BJT is now very big. It raises questions. If it was a close call things would be different, but with 100 seats more BJT it is not so close anymore

Given that PP collected all seats in BKK & CM, I suspect it's a matter of overkill in its subset of seats. If its appeal had been wider (eg in Isaan) & less intense with the big city middle class, they might have picked up more seats overall. (Just a thought.)
