The Democrat Party on Sunday urged the regime to spell out an exact date for a general election to ward off scepticism about the government's efforts to relinquish its powers. The Constitution Drafting Committee (CDC) is now required to draft four organic laws that are needed for the general election to be held. Nipit Intarasombat, another deputy leader of the party, said he much doubted the CDC would act quickly in preparing the laws. He said he could not hazard a guess as to when the election would be held but he suspected it would be a drawn-out affair. Nikorn Jamnong, an executive of the Chartthaipattana Party, said his party has no problem with the poll being held in the middle of next year.
