The Pheu Thai Party has demanded a general election early next year, revocation of "unconstitutional" orders of the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) and freedom to express opinions about legislation. Pheu Thai referred to the government's roadmap, which the party said had set the election early next year. It also proposed the government and the NCPO refrain from exercising any special authority and revoke any NCPO orders that were unconstitutional. Based on the timeline, the election will likely be held no later than November 2018. The key factor is how soon constitution writers complete four election-related laws of all 40 organic laws since polls cannot be held without them.
