webfact Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 PM to meet parties ahead of revocation of NCPO orders BANGKOK, 6 November 2018 (NNT) – Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha is planning to hold talks with political parties prior to the withdrawal of the political ban at present outlawing election campaigns. Gen Prayut, in his capacity as head of the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO), said political parties will be summoned no later than December to discuss the undoing of political restrictions issued by the NCPO. The exact date has yet to be determined. He noted Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam has been assigned to collect opinions, suggestions, and concerns from all parties ahead of the planned meeting, as well as to discuss those concerns with the Election Commission for possible solutions. In the meantime, DPM Wissanu has reminded politicians that they must be an active member of a party for at least 90 days, before being eligible to run for office in the upcoming election, meaning if they wish switch parties or become a party member, they would have to get the paper work done during November , given that the general election is to take place on February 24th, 2019. Those with no desire to vie for seats in next year’s election can switch parties at any time, he added. -- nnt 2018-11-06 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its all about not fixing definite rules until the last moment and causing confusion and panic. Its a constitution referendum re-run. Ensure silence, keep people uninformed. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKDfella Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 This isn't the same as what I read this morning where the PM (apparently) said that the lifting of the ban must sometime after the 10th organic law is completed. Surely no point in holding any talks until that is finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowboat Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 7 hours ago, webfact said: political parties will be summoned FFP, PTP should send an inter to represent. Sounds like a waste of time. Both parties leadership are less than thrilled in having discussions with a junta leader. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The above sentence rather confirms your point. Cordially invited? No, "summoned".... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
