The Palang Pracharath Party's (PPRP) failure to capture two House seats in Sunday's by-elections in Chumphon and Songkhla has prompted questions over whether the ruling party, which only just recently made inroads with voters in the South, is on the way out of government.
The Democrat Party looks set to retain House seats in both Chumphon's constituency 1 and Songkhla's constituency 6 after its candidates emerged winners in unofficial results from Sunday's two by-elections.
