Thailand election shocks polls as conservatives surge to victory

Thailand's election defied polls as Anutin Charnvirakul's conservative Bhumjaithai party won about 190 seats and looks set to form a government with coalition partners, while reformist Move Forward and its allies faltered. The result reflects Thailand's mixed electoral system, strong rural networks for conservatives, the absence of a unifying issue this time, and legal barriers that hamstring reformists, with turnout dipping to about 65%.
