Thaksin: Thaksin attributed Pheu Thai's victory: Thai fugitive ex-leader Thaksin Shinawatra scored a landslide election win, exit polls showed on Sunday, marking a stunning comeback after years of turmoil sparked by a military coup.
The vote cast for Pheu Thai reflects the voice of the people favouring reconciliation, ousted prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra said on Sunday in a telephone interview aired by Thai PBS an hour after the close of balloting. "Pheu Thai is clear about seeking reconciliation," he said. Thaksin attributed Pheu Thai's victory to the collective efforts by party ranks and not just his prodding.

The poll was the first major electoral test for the elite-backed government since mass protests by Thaksin's Red Shirt supporters last year paralysed Bangkok and unleashed the worst political violence in decades.
Thaksin's Puea Thai Party is set to win 313 seats out of 500, against 152 for Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva's Democrats, according to a projection by Suan Dusit University. Other exit polls painted a similar picture.
