BANGKOK, April 30 (UPI) -- New elections in Thailand are scheduled for July 20, the government announced after the constitutional court invalidated a February vote.
The new election was agreed to by the prime minister and the country’s Election Commission, and comes after a hastily-organized February election held amid anti-government protest. Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra’s ruling party won the election, in large part because the opposition boycotted the election and protesters disrupted the polling.
