It has been officially confirmed that the much-awaited election will take place on February 24, 2019 with advance voting scheduled for February 17, according to Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam.
He said the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) confirmed the election date during a meeting with representatives of political parties at the Army Club. The meeting was chaired by Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha but boycotted by major political parties, including the Democrat and Pheu Thai.
Wissanu said NCPO also promised to lift political restrictions this month before the promulgation of the Royal Decree on the election of members of the parliament on January 2 to be followed by an announcement of the Election Commission on January 4 of the election date on February 24.
