Thailand delays general election

The government had promised and postponed elections several times since it came to power following a coup in 2014. The latest date was set for November but last month the newly appointed legislature changed the election law, signaling a further delay. Speaking to reporters in a weekly briefing, Prayuth said the government will meet with political parties around June to set a date for the election. On February 22, the National Legislative Assembly of Thailand had rejected all candidates for the Election Commission which complicates the coming election.
