The Feb 8 poll is the 28th general election since the country adopted a constitutional monarchy in 1932, marking 94 years of parliamentary democracy. Of the 500 MPs, 400 are elected directly from constituencies on a winner-takes-all basis, while 100 party-list seats are allocated proportionally based on nationwide votes. Pheu Thai followed with 141 seats (112 constituency MPs and 28 party-list MPs) and 10.9 million party-list votes. Bhumjaithai (BJT) secured 71 seats but saw relatively weak party-list support, or only three party-list MPs. The Central region has 90 seats, previously led by the PP, with the BJT and Pheu Thai challenging this time.
