PPP says it has enough to form government
(BangkokPost.com) - People Power party (PPP) has enough support from small parties to form a coalition government, PPP secretary-general Surapong Suebwonglee said Monday.
Mr Surapong, speaking at a news conference, denied to say who those parties are.
The latest unofficial results revealed by Election Commission stated that PPP has 232 out of 480 seats while its rival Democrat gets 165 seats.
Democrat party leader Abhisit signaled the readiness to form its own coalition.
"If the PPP succeeds in forming the government, the Democrat party is ready to be in the opposition to protect people's interest," Mr Abhisit said. "But if the PPP fails to form a government, the Democrat party is also ready to form a government."
Chart Thai party has 37 while Puea Pandin has 25. Ruam Jai Thai Chart Pattana gets nine; Matchimathipataya has seven and Pracharaj has five seats.
