Thai People to go to Poll on March 24

BANGKOK, Jan 23 (TNA) – The Election Commission (EC) sets Thailand’s election date for March 24, 2019. The EC meeting finalized the date for the first general election after the 2014 coup at its meeting today after His Majesty the King issued a royal decree for the election earlier today. A new government is expected to be in place by the middle of the year. The long-delayed poll will be held before the royal ceremonies for the coronation of King Maha Vajiralongkorn, which will be held in May. (TNA)
