According to VNA and THX, the above list was announced by the Election Commission on July 12.
The Election Commission announced a temporary suspension of recognition of Ms. Yingluck's election victory while it is still investigating a number of legal issues related to the Puea Thai Party's election campaign.
During the election campaign, the Puea Thai Party hung a portrait of Ms. Yingluck along with the controversial slogan "Thaksin thinks, Puea Thai acts."
Previously, Ms. Yingluck was also accused of buying and selling votes because ofcook noodlesand distributed to voters. However, the Election Commission has denied this allegation.
After a meeting lasting about 10 hours, the Thai Election Commission has not yet recognized Mr. Abhisit's election due to complaints about vote-buying when he campaigned in Samut Prakarn province.
Among the candidates who have not yet been recognized as winners of the first round of elections are Mr. Suthep Thaugsuban, outgoing Speaker of the House of Representatives Chai Chidchob, and several key leaders of the "red shirt" faction such as Jatuporn Promphan and Natthawut Saikua.
Most of the remaining 142 candidates facing lawsuits are from the Puea Thai Party, the Democrat Party and Bhumjaithai./.
