Thailand election: Who could become the next prime minister?

Thailand goes to the polls on Sunday with many voters hoping for an end to the cycle of elections, protests and coups that have hampered the country’s politics for years.
Polling stations open at 8am (01:00 GMT) on May 14 with 500 seats in the lower house of parliament up for grabs. A preliminary result is expected the same night.
As Thailand operates a mixed voting system that includes direct voting as well as a party list based on voters’ party preferences, there is likely to be some uncertainty over the form of the next government as the different parties jockey to form coalitions.
