TLDRIn Thailand's recent election, the Bhumjaithai party, led by staunch royalist Anutin Charnvirakul, is on track to win the most seats, dealing a significant blow to the pro-democracy camp. The People's party, which had been leading in polls, conceded defeat and encouraged supporters to keep fighting for democratic reforms. The result reflects a shift towards conservative and royalist factions in Thai politics.
