BANGKOK, 4 May 2014 (NNT) – The Election Commission (EC) says it may not be necessary to consider Democrat Party leader Abhisit Vejjajiva’s political reform roadmap, explaining that it has already reached a conclusion with the government.

Election commissioner in charge of elections Somchai Srisuthiyakorn said the EC did not need to consider Mr. Abhisit’s request to have the election postponed as it had already reached an agreement with the government to hold an election of July 20th. However, he said if changes were to be made, the decision would have to come from the government side.

He also urged the government to make clear of its stance towards the proposed roadmap.

The EC will on May 6th convene a meeting to discuss the issuing of a royal decree for an election, while expressing belief that the election will be staged within the 60-day time frame.
