Thailand goes to polls on 23 Dec
“We consider December 23, 2007, is the appropriate date,” the head of the election commission, Apichart Sukhagganond told reporters after meeting with army-installed Prime Minister Surayud Chulanont, AFP reported.
“This will give political parties enough time to run their campaigns,” he was quoted saying. Surayud has long promised to hold elections to restore democracy before the end of the year. The announcement comes just one week after Thai voters approved an army-backed constitution in the nation’s first ever referendum.
