The ruling Democrat Party Monday said it hardly believed as opinion polls suggested that the opposition Pheu Thai Party would win landslide victory in the coming July 3 election as many voters have not yet made their decision.

According to the recent Bangkok Poll, Pheu Thai is leading the Democrats both in the party-list and Bangkok's 21 constituencies with 44 per cent of people still undecided on which party they are going to vote for.

The Democrat's election chief Apirak Kosayodhin said he did not believed the polls that his party would lose in the election, notably in the capital as the Democrat used to get 30 out of 36 seats in Bangkok.
