BANGKOK, Feb 11 (Reuters) - Thailand's election commission faced pressure on ⁠Wednesday over an alleged lack of transparency in vote counting across more than a dozen constituencies following Sunday's general election that ⁠was swept by Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul's party.

Almost immediately after polls closed at 5 p.m. (1000 GMT) on Sunday, members of ‌the public flagged irregularities in the vote count on social media.
