Don't heed rumour about delayed election: Thirapat

Don't heed rumour about delayed election: ThirapatPM's Office Thirapat Serirangsan said on Tuesday that rumour mongers were responsible for fuelling the concern about the delayed balloting.

"There is no cause for concern as I can say for certain that the voting will take place on December 23 as has been planned," he said.
He said he detected no concerted efforts or movements to disrupt the planned balloting.
"The government is determined to restore the democratic rule and there is no justification to reschedule the Election Day," he said.
The public anxiety was heightened by speculative comments and rumours, he said, noting the intensified rumours after the People's Alliance for Democracy has threatened to revive the street protests if the People Power Party grabs power.
He said the PAD stepped forward after the PPP pledged to dismantle the Assets Examination Committee and grant amnesty to the 111 banned party executives.
