Thailand's conservative Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul claimed victory in the country's general election, with his Bhumjaithai party projected to win 194 seats in the 500-seat parliament. The progressive People's Party trailed in second place with 116 seats.

The election result defied opinion polls that had consistently placed the reformist People's Party ahead. People's Party leader Natthaphong Ruengpanyawut conceded defeat, saying he was ready to serve in opposition if Anutin could form a government.

A longstanding border dispute with Cambodia that erupted into deadly fighting twice last year was foremost on many voters' minds. After taking office, Anutin authorized the armed forces to take whatever action they saw fit on the border without referring to the government first.

Bhumjaithai presented itself as supportive of the military and royalty, representing a notion of traditional Thai values that had significant impact on voters. The party campaigned on nationalism and populist giveaways while winning local power brokers to its side.

Around 65 percent of voters backed constitutional reform in principle in a referendum held alongside the election. The 2017 constitution was drafted under military rule and critics believe it gives too much power to unelected institutions like the courts and senate.
