Yingluck Shinawatra: "The first priority is the economy"
The sister of Thailand's exiled former prime minister has promised to do her best in government after leading his supporters to a landslide election win.
Yingluck Shinawatra said there was "a lot of hard work ahead", after preliminary results showed Pheu Thai had won a clear majority in parliament.
With nearly all votes counted, Pheu Thai had 264 seats and Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva's Democrats 160.
Ms Yingluck's elder brother, Thaksin, was deposed in a military coup in 2006.
Both parties campaigned for an end to the divisions which have plagued Thailand since and caused deadly clashes between their followers.
Last year, protesters shut down parts of Bangkok for two months in a bid to force Mr Abhisit's government to resign. When the army stepped in to clear the streets it degenerated into violence, leaving 91 people dead.
