December election to be held as scheduled: Poll agency
BANGKOK: — Thailand’s Election Commission (EC) chairman Apichart Sukhagganond confirmed at a press conference on Thursday that general elections will definitely be held on December 23 as originally scheduled.
Meeting with the prime minister Thursday morning, the EC also asked the government to declare a national agenda on preventing vote-buying and to adopt a cabinet resolution to urge government officials to be non-partisan.
All sides must cooperate to make the election transparent, said the EC Secretary-General Suthipol Thaweechaikarn before the meeting.
The polling agency said it now has no problem to manage the budget allocated to guarantee that its electoral chores will be carried out in efficient fashion in all of the country’s 400 constituencies nationwide.
After a long period of political uncertainties and indecision, the upcoming election is expected to end Thailand’s political doldrums and return democracy to the kingdom.
