Thailand's Thaksin-linked party leads pro-junta party, but many seats undecided


BANGKOK (Reuters) - Thailand's opposition Pheu Thai party won 138 seats in the House of Representatives and a pro-army party 96 seats, but the winners of 150 of the lower house seats are still unclear, according to the Election Commission after the country's first vote since a 2014 coup.

The overall winner of Sunday's election may not emerge for weeks because the Election Commission has said it will announce the official results of the final 150 seats in the 500-seat parliament on May 9.
