At the same time, he appeared to be tired with speculation that the legislation of organic laws would cause an extension of the road map and delay the election. However, Meechai said that the new road map that Prayut announced on Tuesday, in which an election would take place in November next year, was well in accordance with the new Constitution. He and Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam had discussed the matter, and the Prime Minister had acknowledged the timeframe laid out by the charter, Meechai said. The panel had a timetable that it must complete its job after 240 days, and it would follow through, he said. These are on the selection of the Senate and the election of MPs, and they are essential for holding an election next year.
