A general election will definitely be held next year, Constitution Drafting Committee chairman Borwornsak Uwanno said Monday.
He was speaking after returning from a five-day official trip to Germany, in which he examined that country’s electoral system because Thailand’s new voting system is modelled on it.
Borwornsak said he told German foreign ministry officials and diplomats that Thailand’s general election would be held early next year at the earliest and mid-2016 at the latest.
He said he discussed Germany’s election system – both constituency and partylist systems – with German Constitutional Court officials.
He said the German officials told him the party-list system that the CDC was drawing up was the right move.
