Thai polls could be put off further
Print Edition
Thailand鈥檚 long-delayed general election to end military rule will have to be postponed from its February 24 date and will likely be held in March, two officials in the election commission said yesterday.
The Election Commission of Thailand has not announced the postponement, but two senior election officials said it was impossible to hold the polls on February 24, as announced last month.
The military government that has ruled for nearly five years had earlier suggested a one-month delay because of scheduling clashes with the coronation of the king in May.
鈥淭he February 24 election cannot take place because the Election Commission doesn鈥檛 have enough time to organize it,鈥 a senior commission official said. 鈥淭here are now two possible dates ... March 10 or 24.鈥
Coronation ceremonies for King Maha Vajiralongkorn have been scheduled for May 4-6, and the government said that there would be royal rituals taking place 15 days prior to and after those three dates.
