Court to decide fate of election tomorrow

Thailand’s Constitutional Court will rule tomorrow on the validity of the Feb. 2 election.

Yesterday the court met to hear a petition filed by its own ombudsman challenging the election’s legality.

Pongthep Thepkanchana, a (caretaker) deputy prime minister, argued the court’s ombudsman lacked the standing to force the question.

The chairman of the Election Commission also challenged the action, saying the commission had dont nothing determined to violate the constitution, Thai PBS reported.
