Thai opposition leader Abhisit Vejjajiva has won a majority in a special parliamentary vote for a new prime minister, according to an AFP tally.
British-born Abhisit crossed the threshold of 220 votes for a simple majority in a vote called on Monday.
It is nearly two weeks since a court dissolved the ruling party and barred premier Somchai Wongsawat from politics.
