On 14th May, Thailand voted the United Thai Nation Party out of power.

The military supported government took power by force 10 years ago.

But they've lost popularity.

Younger voters want change.

Most of them voted for the Move Forward Party (MFP) because they'd like a democratic government.

The leader of the MFP, Pita Limjaroenrat hoped that all 57 million voters would go to the polls.

Thailand recorded the highest number of voters at this election.

99 percent of the votes have been counted and announced.

So far, the MFP has beaten all the military supported parties.

But before the MFP can become the government, there are a few more steps in the process.

The party will have to form a government with other parties.

In 2017, the military government decided that new premiers need the vote of 500 members of parliament and 250 senate members.

These senate members were chosen by the military government.

Also, the court could end the MFP.

This process may take weeks.
