BANGKOK, Feb. 25 (Xinhua) -- Thailand's Election Commission on Wednesday officially certified the election results for 396 constituency seats in the 500-member House of Representatives following the Feb. 8 general election.
The commission said the announcement corresponds with the legal mandate requiring the endorsement of at least 95 percent of all 400 constituency seats within 60 days of an election, provided preliminary investigations indicate the polls were conducted honestly and fairly.
In a statement, the commission noted that four constituency seats have not yet been certified due to an ongoing vote recount.
The certification of party-list members of parliament (MPs) also remains under review and will be announced later, it added.
Newly endorsed MPs are required to collect their official letters of certification at the Election Commission headquarters starting Thursday. ■
