snoop1130 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Election between this December 11 and next May 9, says EC By The Nation EC secretary-general Jaroongwit Phumma Thailand’s Election Commission (EC) has outlined a tentative time frame for the next election vote, starting from December 11 at the earliest to May 9 at the latest, its top official said on Thursday. The timeframe was set following Wednesday’s promulgation of the new law on MP elections, said EC secretary-general Jaroongwit Phumma. However, setting the exact election date can occur only after the junta imposed political ban is partially lifted to pave the way for political parties to meet and plan for the election, he added. “But it will be a bit risky if [the election] is set for May 9,” Jaroongwit said. Asked about a remark by a government top figures that the election would be held on February 24, he said the EC could manage but it would depend on whether political parties were ready. At issue is the need for political parties to conduct a primary vote to choose their MP candidates from among party members. Those wishing to run for an MP slot must join the party no later than 90 days before the election date, he said. “We are ready to organise the election in 90,000 polling stations nationwide,” he said.

zzaa09 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 If I'm not mistaken, doesn't the coronation have to take place before any elections proceed? Even the officialdom circles have mentioned, months ago, that this royal protocol takes precedent before any such national elections can take place. We've heard that the coronation will be engaged in January or February......????? ? Someone correct me if I'm incorrect, please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a Prayuth excuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet, any such official mandates - constitutional revisions, assorted legislative acts, official elections, etc - have to be officially blessed and recognized by HM. Thailand still maintains a functioning Constitutional Monarchy in the truest legitimate sense. And the present ruling military or any other type of government are enacted to serve the standing royalty above most everything else......it all trickles down, in theory. The real official workings of Thailand is still missed on many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a whole arms kote full of such excuses: coronations, sad events, ASEAN chair, significant anniversaries which would mean political activity would be inappropriate, and that is before we get into the realms of sedition, threats to order, and unrest. Years and years worth. Perhaps the new head of the EC would be well advised to buy one of those "perpetual calendars" to go on his desk... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well of course not, but there's only so much I could say under the circumstances. Remember the whole Head of State death and legal requirement for a replacement fiasco...totally ignored by the power that is.

Personally I find that his enigmatic, slightly sardonic and oblique commentary tells us nothing that we haven't known for the last four years, but hints that he is much better informed than us - "whispers from the inside track". Maybe thats just me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't the next elected government require royal endorsement in order for it to be officially installed? So while beyond Prayut's control, the date of the coronation might be critical. Otherwise, governance by the next elected government will be stalled with PM Prayut remaining as the Head of Government and chief of the NCPO. The potential for the resulting time span may explain the EC's anticipation of elections being delayed as late as May 2019. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, all laws up to now have received royal endorsement - the next government can receive royal endorsement without a coronation ceremony.
