rooster59 Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 EC will decide general election date: Meechai By The Nation Meechai Ruchupan The date of the next general election will be decided by the Election Commission (EC), chief charter drafter Meechai Ruchupan said on Saturday. The Constitution Drafting Commission (CDC) chairman said it was still unclear when the next election would take place, but he confirmed that it would be held in the 12 months following the promulgation of the new constitution. The charter draft was endorsed in a referendum last August and submitted for royal endorsement in early November. His Majesty the King’s observations in regard to the monarchy were then made and delivered via Privy Council members to the government.

mtls2005 Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 EC will decide general election date Once they return from their latest overseas "investigative" trip. Doing the math it sounds like an election could be held as soon as 330 days from 17 Feb. 2017, but I think they've also decided it must come after the Royal funeral and Royal coronation. So something like mid to late 2018, assuming there aren't further delays. I wonder if the public will be asked for "input" on the organic laws?

Just to firm up on your math in respect of the election date, according to my calculations ( which I checked twice on my abacus), the precise date will be the 12th of Never.

Prbkk Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Better check when they are going to be in the country. Been to Scotland, Japan, Korea. Forthcoming elections in France, The Netherlands, Germany will no doubt need to be observed. Surprised they haven't been to the US to investigate rigged voting claims. Hopefully they can find time in their busy schedules for an election at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baboon Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Bear in mind they are off to Geneva soon to extol their execrable human rights record. This election chatter is probably intended to fool the UN into thinking progress is being made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you support the junta, you are indeed a fan, I don't see anything stupid (thanks for your insult) or childish. Oh at least before Thai people had a choice at least but now...
