"The People Power party (PPP) is leading its arch rival the Democrats in the first poll conducted by Suan Dusit Rajabhat University as parties gear up their campaigns for the election. Although the Democrat party is likely to control seats in Bangkok, it still trails the PPP, judging by results of the Suan Dusit Poll, which surveyed respondents between Nov 1 and last Saturday .

The poll suggests the PPP would win 180 House seats, followed by the Democrats with 160 seats including the lion's share of 22 seats in Bangkok.

Chart Thai would come third with 50 seats, five seats more than Matchimathipataya. Puea Pandin would get 25 seats, Ruam Jai Thai Chart Pattana, 10 seats, and Pracharaj four members in parliament. The figures are approximate.

The poll was unveiled ahead of registration day for candidates in the 157 constituencies nationwide. The new parliament will have 400 seats from the constituency system, and another 80 from the party list."
