Thailand: Election to take place next year, new government may have to wait

Thailand’S junta government insists that the next election will definitely take place next year but the people may have to wait until 2018 before a new government is formed.
According to the Nation, Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam says ‘unforeseeable factors’ could delay the political roadmap to return the country to democracy making it unlikely for a new administration to be formed within next year.
Wissanu claims it will take about two months for official results to be announced after the vote as the new electoral system will be adopted in the next election.
“Due to the new voting and vote count systems, the political party with the most votes will not be guaranteed to form the government. The one that fails to get the most votes may succeed,” the deputy premier said.
There will be a process concerning the opening of Parliament to select a new prime minister after the election results are announced, he added.
The new voting system will see a single ballot used for both the party list and constituency systems.

The Deputy PM, however, assured the proposed 20-year strategic plan for the Thai administration is close to completion, the Bangkok Post reports.
The plan, which will be divided into four periods of five years, will be a guideline for national development in the country to ensure related implementations among the public, private and people’s sectors will all be in line with one another.
According to Channel News Asia, the military government has no plans to postpone a return to democratic rule, amid fears among government critics that the military would delay for several months a general election planned for next year, until the end of the mourning period after the death of revered King Bhumibol Adulyadej.

The military junta has in the past pledged to restore order in Thailand and enact political reforms after the seized power in a 2014 coup.
Thailand is currently observing a year of mourning following the death of their monarch back in October. However, media reports claim the death of the world’s longest reigning monarch will not delay the polls.
“The country is ready to restore confidence in our foreign partners that Thailand will be under democratic rule again,” Amnuay Klangpa, a former Puea Thai Party lawmaker, told Reuters.
