However, another defeated candidate has vowed to seek a probe into alleged vote-buying.

Klatham candidate Kongkiat Ketsobat unofficially won the by-election in Constituency 8 with 38,680 votes.

The polls were held to find a replacement for Bhumjaithai MP Mukdawan Luengsinil, who was sacked by the Criminal Court for vote-buying. She is now serving a 10-year political ban.
