Following the 8 February 2026 general election, the Election Commission of Thailand (ECT) will announce official results once it confirms the election was fair and at least 95 percent of constituencies meet legal requirements, and no later than 60 days after the election day.

However, unofficial results of the general election have been reported. Based on 94 percent of votes counted by the ECT at 15.51 hr on 9 February, in the election of 400 MPs under the constituency basis, the Bhumjaithai party comes first and is expected to capture 174 seats. The People’s party comes in second position and is expected to gain 87 seats, while the Pheu Thai party comes third and is expected to capture 58 seats. The Klatham party comes in the fourth position and is expected to gain 56 seats, and the Democrat party comes fifth and is expected to gain 10 seats.

As for the party lists of political parties, the People’s party comes first, winning 9,777,951 votes (28.30 percent) and the Bhumjaithai party comes second, receiving 5,954,535 votes (17.23 percent), followed by the Pheu Thai party, gaining 5,147,600 votes (14.90 percent), the Democrat party, gaining 3,651,026 votes (10.57 percent), and the Economic party, receiving 1,045,452 votes (3.03 percent). The ECT has yet to announce the preliminary allocation of the 100 party-list seats.

A constitutional referendum was held on the same day as the general election. Based on 94 percent of votes counted by the ECT, 19,940,447 voters (60 percent) answered "Yes" for the rewriting of the constitution, while 10,531,647 (32 percent) voted “No” and 2,886,351 (8.65 percent) selected “No comment.”

Around 34 million people exercised their voter rights, out of 52.9 million eligible voters.

The ECT will certify results of the general election within 60 days, or by 9 April, following the election day. Then, by 24 April, the first parliamentary session will be held, during which members of the House of Representatives will elect the Speaker of the House of Representatives and his deputies, as the law requires that a parliamentary session be called within 15 days after the ECT certifies results of the general election.

The next step is the election of the prime minister, which is expected to take place in early May. After the prime minister is elected, the new cabinet will be formed, and cabinet members will have to take an oath in an audience with His Majesty the King before assuming office. 

The new government is required to present its policy statement in Parliament within 15 days. Thailand is expected to have a fully functioning new government by the middle of June.
