BANGKOK - An international observer group said it would face limitations in judging to what extent Thailand’s general election on Sunday is free and fair, partly because it was granted accreditation too late to get more than 35 monitors into the country.
But permission to monitor the poll was only granted on March 14 and so less than half that number will be on the ground for an election critics say has been stacked in favor of the military by the country’s junta. A third faction, led the anti-Thaksin establishment Democrat Party, argues it can form a government that is neutral.
The European Union said in a statement on Friday that it had not received an invitation to observe the election in time and would deploy staff members on a “diplomatic watch” for internal reporting only.
