Thailand's Election Results Spark Uncertainty and Hope for Change.

Thailand's two election-winning parties are working to form a government that reflects the will of voters who want to end the long military domination of politics. However, they face a battle that could take weeks or months, and their success is not guaranteed. The powerful military toppled the last elected government in 2014 and later created an unelected 250-seat Senate that also participates in a combined vote on who becomes prime minister. The parties are likely to engage in behind-the-scenes negotiations to bring others into the proposed coalition to get to the actual number of votes, 376, needed to get a prime minister and form a government.
