Thailand Dissolves Parliament Ahead of May General Election

 

The exact date of the election will be announced by the Election Commission and published in the Royal Gazette.

 

Although the election date has not been determined, Thai Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam recently said that the upcoming election will likely take place on May 14.

 

The election will be a fierce competition between Paetongtarn's Pheu Thai party and the current ruling coalition.

 

Thai Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha fell behind his main election rival Paetongtarn Shinawatra, daughter of former PM Thaksin Shinawatra, in a new opinion poll.
