The Election Commission (EC) expects to spend about 5 billion baht on the coming general election, the exact timeline of which cannot yet be drawn up, Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam said on Wednesday.
An exact election timeline, he said, can be drawn up only when one of three scenarios has occurred — the House of Representatives is dissolved before the end of the parliamentary session on Feb 28; when the House is dissolved after the end of the parliamentary session; the House continues to exist until it completes its full four-year term on March 23.
