Election results in Thailand show that voters have overwhelmingly opted for change after nine years under a former general who took power in a coup.

Academics believe the Move Forward Party (MFP) will join hands with the Pheu Thai Party and small parties to form a government coalition.

Most of the vote-buying reports received by the Election Commission (EC) on Sunday were reported in Bangkok, which has the most constituencies out of all provinces, the poll body said.

The vote is seen as a referendum on the military, which has ruled Thailand for nine years. Results could determine the path for democracy in the country.

Party leaders were among throngs of Thai voters appearing at polling stations nationwide early on Sunday to cast their ballots in an election that will decide whether Prayut Chan-o-cha will be ousted and replaced as prime minister eight years in power.
