Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-o-cha answers questions during a press conference following a cabinet meeting at Government House on Sept 26, 2017. "Around June we will announce the date for the next election," Gen Prayuth told reporters at Bangkok's Government House. Now that a clear announcement had been made of the timing of the elections, he said, politicians and political parties should maintain peace and order. Some politicians expressed skepticism over the election date. "The election date creates clarity," Mr Ong-art said.
