Bangkok district election results

On June 6 the first round of the district council elections were held in the northeastern districts of Bangkok. According to the article in the Nation, the results were a success to the Democrat-led government. However it is far from an indication of the results of a general elections, not only the low voter turnout of just 35%, but also the fact that not parties but candidates are elected and therefore their personal power-bases make it hard to extrapolate the real political preferences. The article also gives a little background on the district councils, as well as states the date for the elections in the remaining 36 district as being set for August 29.

One advantage of being rather late with presenting these results is that I discovered now the results form every district is also published in the Royal Gazette - however only the names and votes of all candidates, their party affiliation, the total number of eligible voters and of votes cast are not in these PDFs.
