泰国执政的自豪泰党（Bhumjaithai Party）在周日的下议院选举中，随著开票接近完成，宣布在曼谷获胜，这显示总理阿努廷·占威拉库（Anutin Charnvirakul）很可能继续执政。主张改革的主要反对党人民党（People’s Party）承认自己并非第 1 大党，并表示若自豪泰党组建政府，它已准备好担任在野党。这场提前选举源于阿努廷在 12 月解散下议院，并被描述为保守派与进步派阵营之间的较量；投票在全国进行，投票站于下午 5 点关闭。

在近 95% 的投票站回报后，选举委员会的初步推估显示，自豪泰党约 192 席，人民党 117 席，为泰党（Pheu Thai）74 席，预期席次差距相当明显。在另行统计的 100 席比例代表席次中，人民党以约 27% 的已计票票数领先，高于自豪泰党的 17% 与为泰党的 16%，凸显比例票份与预估席次结果之间的落差。约有 5290 万名年满 18 岁的人具投票资格，在超过 99,000 个投票站投票；选民每人投 2 张票：1 张投选区候选人、1 张投政党。

选民也就改革 2017 年宪法的公投作出决定：在近 90% 的投票站完成计票后，60% 表示需要一部新宪法，32% 表示无需更改，约 8% 表示没有意见，但该结果被形容为仅是第一步，且不保证会有变化。由于选出总理需要在国会投票中获至少 251 名下议院议员同意，政府组建与领导地位不会自动由结果产生；一旦官方结果定案，联合组阁谈判仍可能改变走向。人民党是已被解散的前进党（Move Forward Party）的继承者；该党在 2023 年赢得最多席次却未能组建政府。此次人民党以较为温和的立场竞选，而自豪泰党则在边境紧张之际强调施政能力与民族主义讯息。

Thailand’s ruling Bhumjaithai Party declared victory in Sunday’s lower house election in Bangkok as counting neared completion, signaling Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul is likely to stay in power. The reformist main opposition People’s Party conceded it was not the No. 1 party and said it was ready to serve as opposition if Bhumjaithai forms a government. The snap election followed Anutin’s dissolution of the lower house in December and was framed as a contest between conservative and progressive camps, with voting held nationwide and polls closing at 5 p.m.

With nearly 95% of polling stations reporting, election commission preliminary projections put Bhumjaithai at about 192 seats versus the People’s Party at 117 and Pheu Thai at 74, creating a sizable gap in expected seat totals. In the separate tally for the 100 proportional representation seats, the People’s Party led with about 27% of counted votes, ahead of Bhumjaithai’s 17% and Pheu Thai’s 16%, highlighting a split between proportional vote share and projected seat outcomes. About 52.9 million people aged 18 or older were eligible to vote at over 99,000 polling stations, and voters cast 2 ballots each: 1 for a constituency candidate and 1 for a party.

Voters also decided a referendum on reforming the 2017 constitution: after nearly 90% of polling stations were counted, 60% said a new constitution was necessary, 32% said there was no need to change it, and roughly 8% reported no opinion, but the result was described as only a first step with no guarantee of change. Government formation and leadership are not automatic from the results because selecting a prime minister requires approval from at least 251 lower house members in a parliamentary vote, and coalition talks may still shift outcomes once official results are finalized. The People’s Party, successor to the dissolved Move Forward Party that won the most seats in 2023 but failed to form a government, campaigned with a moderated stance this time while Bhumjaithai emphasized governance capability and nationalist messaging amid border tensions.
