Two of three recent opinion surveys indicated the governing Bhumjaithai Party (BJT) may win Sunday's general election, while the third saw the People’s Party (PP) as the potential winner. Surveys by King Prajadhipok’s Institute (KPI), which is the parliament’s democracy promotion organisation, and the National Institute of Development Administration (Nida) concluded that BJT could well win the election, with PP the runner-up and the Pheu Thai Party (PT) third. According to KPI, BJT should win 134-151 House seats, followed by PP with 128-143 seats and PT with 100-115 seats. It found that PP could win the election with 165 House seats, followed by BJT with 130 seats and PT with 115 seats. The Nida poll showed that most respondents (54.68%) wanted a new constitution, while 31.54% did not and 13.78% had no opinion.
