As the May 14 election countdown has begun, Pheu Thai continues to take a healthy lead, with a strong chance of winning a landslide or even an avalanche -- if it gets over 310 out of 500 seats.

At present, it looks like the party could easily grab some 250 seats. As widely speculated, it has a high chance of forming a government with either Paetongtarn Shinawatra or real estate mogul Srettha Thavisin as a prospective leader. But if it wins massively with 310 seats, as speculated by some, the military-leaning Senate cannot stand in its way.
