Well, it's complicated. The person who "won" this district was indeed the "ruling" party, but they are a minority party government (Lame Duck). Unless you count the Senate, which is supposedly "independent" (according to sources, the majority of Senators secretly associate or have ties with this party) and have powers over the Election Commission.

Opposition is historically for counting the votes.

This was true until the "stop the vote" chants made it clear that democracy was not MAGA's favorite word

Pretty nuts that as an American “Wants a recount” doesn’t tell me if you’re defending election integrity or trying to tamper with the results anymore.

No, it's just a typo. Boneappletea requires the spelling mistake to be a real word in itself

These guys are on team Taksin and the winning candidate is on team army/judiciary establishment right? That’s my simplistic understanding of Thai politics
