Junta critics have blamed rule by the military for the poor performance of the economy and a lack of democratic freedoms, while its supporters claim the army has stabilised the country

Thailand’s military-backed political party was last night heading for an unexpected win over its populist rival which has led a “democratic front” in the first election since a 2014 coup.

However, in a late twist, Ittiporn Boonprakong, the commission’s chairman, said that the full unofficial results would only be declared this morning, without giving any reason for such a delay.
