Legislative elections are expected to be held again in Thailand before the end of 2007 after the military assumed power in the 2006 Thai coup d'état on 19 September 2006.[1][2]
However, Prime Minister's Office Minister Thirapat Serirangsan later announced that elections might not occur until one year and five months, which would put the election some time in 2008.[3] On the other hand, the chairman of the Constitution Drafting Council, Noranit Sethabutr, stated on 2007-01-12 that the current timetable was to hold a constitutional referendum in August and elections between October and December; any problems in drafting the constitution or ratifying it through the referendum would delay the election date.[4] This timetable was later tightened even further, with elections planned by the end of September 2007.[5] A preliminary date was set in March 2007 for the elections to be held on 16 December 2007 or 23 December 2007.[6]
