According to the endorsed vote results, the Move Forward Party won the most House seats, 151, followed by the Pheu Thai Party (141), Bhumjaithai (71), Palang Pracharath (40), United Thai Nation (36), Democrat (25) and Chartthaipattana (10).
EC Secretary-General Sawaeng Boonmee said newly elected MPs could report at the parliament from June 20-24.
By law, within 15 days of the EC's endorsement of the new MPs, the parliament must convene to vote for the House speaker, and the process of voting for the new Prime Minister and the establishment of the new government will follow.
The new parliament is therefore now expected to convene by July 3./.
