Meechai confirms election will take place in Feb 2019

 

 

BANGKOK, 16th April 2018 (NNT) – The chief of the Constitution Drafting Commission (CDC) is convinced that Thai citizens will go to the polls in February 2019. 

CDC chairman Meechai Ruchuphan said today that Thai politics is moving in the right direction and the fact that the government led by PM Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha wants to meet with political parties is a good sign. 

In regard to the two draft organic laws governing the election of members of parliament and the election of senators, Meechai said the Constitutional Court is expected to render its verdict on the constitutionality of the two bills no later than June or before the administration summons political parties and the electoral body, to determine an election date. 

Voicing his confidence about the election roadmap, Meechai said the nation will go to the polls some time in February next year. 

When asked if the National Council for Peace and Order would be able to maintain law and order if the general election had to delayed, he declined to give an answer.

The correct answer is "that is all they are able to do".

The idea that the election commission and parties can organise for an election in 7 months or less is quite ludicrous . Though even meechai is optimistically hoping .

 

Who'd believe it?

Until it isn’t 

February 30th?

Rule #1 never believe a single word that comes out of Meechai's mouth.

Yep, Prayuth can then blame the delay on the solar system instead of Thaksin. After all, he needs a new scapegoat.

The trap is set. Will the Thais walk blindly into it or will they organize to elect leadership that has their best interest in mind?

We all know he is a man who can be trusted...

Yep. They are all thick as thieves. 

At the end of the day, Thailand will "elect" the same gov't from 1932. 

Ya right. Nuff said...
