Bangkok will have 3 more constituency seats than it had at the last general election and still has more seats than any other province. Trat, Ranong, Samut Songkhram and Sing Buri will just have one seat each, in line with the new parliamentary seat allocation just completed by the Election Commission (EC).

 

The allocation of the House of Representatives’ 400 constituency seats, an increase from 350, following a parliamentary approval to revert back to the two-ballot system and to adjust the ratio between the constituency andparty list MPs from 350:150 to 400:100, is calculated based on the population of each province, with one seat per 165,428 people.

 

The increase in the number of constituency seats in the House and the resulting redistribution mean that Bangkok and 42 other provinces will have more seats. 37 will have one more seat each, while 5 will have an additional two each.

After the result the other day it's going to need some very manipulative gerrymandering to keep this lot in power!

hope it all works out to get rid of this "good for nothing" gang.... they are good at manipulating numbers, thus shouldn't allow them to repeat  what they did in prior elections

I am sure that all of this is so that they can 'organise' a larger majority!

No way will they accept defeat.

More snouts in the trough?
