Government HouseBhumjaithai Party (BJT) leader Anutin Charnvirakul vowed to press ahead with the constitutional amendment process after the result of the referendum on Sunday showed strong public support for rewriting the charter. The referendum followed a Constitutional Court ruling, which requires public consultation before any attempt to rewrite the entire constitution. Unofficial election results showed the BJT winning 174 constituency seats and 19 party-list seats, a significant increase from the previous general election. Mr Anutin said the outcome exceeded expectations, noting the party had originally projected 130–170 seats. On coalition formation, Mr Anutin said the country needs a strong and stable government capable of functioning effectively.
