THAI GENERAL ELECTION 2019
Thai general election which took place on 24 March 2019 was long-awaited would be an understatement. After five years of unchecked military rule and successive election postponements, the people of Thailand finally had an opportunity to express their opinions, in what should have been a moment of collective exhilaration.
While ANFREL welcomes the much-needed return to democratic processes, it has consistently expressed concerns about the circumstances under which the general election would take place. The 2019 Thai General Election was found wanting in the most important element required for an election to be considered truly democratic. Thai authorities did ultimately fulfill their promise to hold an election, but they failed to establish the healthy political climate that lies at the heart of a free and fair electoral process.
