General elections were held in Thailand on 3 July 2011 to elect the 24th House of Representatives.[1]
The protestors of the United Front for Democracy Against Dictatorship (UDD) or "Red Shirts" who occupied downtown Bangkok in April and May 2010 had demanded new elections. The government's counter-proposal to hold elections on 14 November 2010 was rejected by them and was followed by a violent crackdown when the protestors refused to disperse.[2][3] Elections were finally announced in May 2011.
With a turnout of 75%,[4] populist Pheu Thai Party won a majority with 265 seats.[5] Its leader Yingluck Shinawatra became the first female prime minister in the history of Thailand.[6] The Democrat Party therefore became the main opposition party with a total of 159 seats.[5]
The election results were acknowledged on 27 July after the Election Commission dealt with a number of objections regarding alleged irregularities.[7] Reelections and recount were ordered to be held in several provinces, due to electoral fraud discovered by the commission.[8][9][10] The first session of the National Assembly was convoked on Monday, 1 August at Ananta Samakhom Throne Hall and its state opening was held at the same time.[11]
Following the victory by Pheu Thai Party, several countries, including Germany[12] and Japan,[13] lifted the ban that had once been imposed upon Thaksin Shinawatra, a convicted felon in Thailand.
