Thailand could see another election delay

Thailand’s

long-delayed election appeared in danger of further postponement yesterday after the military junta-appointed legislature voted to delay the implementation of a piece of legislation needed for the poll.

The National Legislative Assembly voted late Thursday to extend the start date for a new election law by 90 days. The junta’s top legal adviser, Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam, said the extension would push back the election until as late as February 2019. (AP)
