Thailand's ruling conservatives set for coalition talks after big election win

Thailand faced a realignment of conservative politics on Monday, with coalition talks expected to start soon after Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul’s party clinched a stronger-than-expected victory in general elections. Anutin’s Bhumjaithai party was forecast by local media to have won almost 200 seats in Sunday’s vote, well ahead of others but short of an outright majority in the 500-member lower house.
