The drafts of the organic laws on the MPs and senators, the major laws relevant to the election, have not been completed. Whether the election can happen according to the roadmap would depend on the passing of relevant organic laws.

Thaksin should let go of the Pheu Thai Party while the NCPO should also set free the senators and allow them to vote independently, Mr Prinya said.
