THE ELECTION COMMISSION has today (Mar.21) scheduled a general election for May 14, confirmed the polling agency’s secretary-general Sawaeng Boonmee.

 

The May 14 election date has been set by the election commissioners today after caretaker prime minister Prayut Chan-o-cha dissolved the House of Representatives yesterday or only three days before its four-year term would otherwise have ended by schedule on the upcoming Friday.

 

The nationwide race to parliament will see a total of 500 partisan candidates elected as MPs, including 400 in constituency-based mode and 100 in party-listed mode.

The reliability of the EC and Government... weeks they shout elections 7 May, Prayuth going to dissolve the parliament for elections on 7 May.. and suddenly they change it to 14th May.. They want to keep in power as long as possible, instead helping the country to go forward, instead of holding it back constantly

Looking forward to the great populous rebellion to come.

Stay tuned.

I lived in a different country for 10 yrs before a coup then takeover & the results were bad for locals & disastrous for the expat community.  For me as an expat,  life in Thailand is ok at its present level. Do you think this will change a lot?  (guns, rolls of barbed wire,  more expat arrests)
