"Ittiporn Boonpracong"

Election Commission (EC) chief Ittiporn Boonpracong called on voters to heed His Majesty’s advice and vote for “good people”.

Sunday’s advance voting was the first election to be overseen by the Election Commission (EC) chief, Ittiporn Boonpracong, who is a diplomat by profession and was once an ambassador to the Netherlands and Kenya. 

Election Commission (EC) President Ittiporn Boonpracong said on Friday that foreign diplomats and members of the international community have voiced no concerns about the upcoming national election.

THE CHIEF election commissioner said yesterday that he saw no reason for the election to be delayed, though a decision on the matter will be made after the junta’s organs meet with political parties.
