Thailand’s Government has reaffirmed that there will be no more delays to the general election, with the date for the poll remaining for February 24, 2019.
Thailand’s ruling junta will lift fully its ban on political activities from December 16 – 27 to clear the way for a national election to be held in February next year, according to Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam.
Thai Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam has affirmed that the election date will be between February 24-May 5 next year, and that the ban on political activities will be relaxed soon.
Thai Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam said on June 25 that a general election will be held between February 24 and May 5, 2019.
A general election in Thailand could only be held 19 months after the new constitution, approved by the majority of voters in a referendum last August, took effect, said Deputy PM Wissanu Krea-ngam.
The Thai Government on October 21 approved amendments to the outdated National Security Act in order to restructure the National Security Council (NSC).
