Thai polls to be held no later than Feb 2019: PM

Thai Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha yesterday said a general election he had promised to hold in November would take place "no later" than February 2019, the latest delay to anger critics of the government. The junta has promised and postponed elections several times since its 2014 coup overthrew a civilian government. The latest date was set for November but last month the military-appointed legislature changed the election law, pointing to further delay.
