Rival revelry? Democrat Party chairman Abhisit Vejjajiva and Pheu Thai sec-gen Phumtham Wechayachai chat Tuesday at an Election Commission briefing in Bangkok.

 

BANGKOK — All parties, old and new, will be allowed to resume organizing activities in June, an official said Friday, though the ban on protests and other political activities will remain in place.

 

Defense spokesman Kongcheep Tantravanich said the ban will be lifted under a law on political parties coming into effect. It will mean electoral heavyweights like the Pheu Thai and Democrat parties will be able to meet, discuss policies and choose their leaders in anticipation of the next election, now slated to take place in February.

“This is not a lifting of the ban on politics. It is not. It is for political parties to engage in their activities,” the spokesman said, adding that parties will need to wait for a law on electioneering to be enacted before they can launch their campaigns.

 

Members of PTP , Democrats and all other parties....Time to show, that you got balls..Hit the streets with protest after protest.....Time to show the unelected "masters" that enough is enough.....

Time to show the voters that you are actually worthy of their vote, and not just a bunch of cowards....
