The government has yet to discuss it, he said, adding that he himself does not
see any readiness to lift the ban.
However, the Deputy PM affirmed that the Thai Government will stick with the
roadmap to return to democracy, with the highlight being the general election
slated for late 2018.
Prawit’s comment came after Interior Minister General Anupong Paochinda, who
has been working to prepare for local elections, said he might ask Prime
Minister General Prayut Chan-ocha to consider lifting the ban.
The ban followed the 2014 coup. Accordingly, all kinds of political gatherings
of five or more people are illegal.
