Results of the March 24 poll were released almost two months after the vote and showed no clear winner. But the junta-linked Palang Pracharat won 115 seats in the lower house, only 11 votes shy of a majority in the combined parliament thanks to 250 military-appointed senators. Votes for House Speakers are set for Saturday while the vote for prime minister could happen as early as next week. That bloc includes Pheu Thai, which won 136 seats and is associated with self-exiled former premier Thaksin Shinawatra. A total of 27 parties also gained seats in parliament.
