Suratin Picharn, leader of the New Democracy Party, and representatives from smaller political parties, petitioned the elections body for an urgently organised election in 45-60 days as ruled by the Constitution Court and said the EC should return registration fees to candidates in the Feb 2 nullified general election.
He asked the EC to find a responsible agency to repay the Bt3.8 billion spending in the Feb 2 election.
He said the elections agency should invite 73 existing political parties to discuss and set a new balloting date, instead of waiting until its original April 22 schedule.
He said two rival factions - the anti-government People's Democratic Reform Committee and the pro-government United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship - should be invited to the meeting.
