Thailand will hold a general election in May, Prime Minister Prayut
Chan-O-Cha said Tuesday, with unofficial campaigning already under way. The embattled premier, who came to power as army chief in a 2014 coup before taking over as PM after a controversial 2019 election, told reporters he would dissolve parliament in March. Under Thai
constitutional rules, this would mean an election some time in May, with May 7 seen by many observers as the most likely date.
