Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs of Thailand Tanasak Patimapragorn on Monday urged political parties to keep calm and wait for the ban on political gatherings to be lifted, adding that it's the matter under consideration by the National Council for Peace and Order.
The deputy prime minister said parties should bide their time as the easing of the ban was imminent, given that the NCPO had been discussing the issue.
If the ban were lifted now, it might disadvantage several parties as only a few were ready to commence political activities, he said.
