Possible election delay not a ruse to stay in power, says govt

Government spokesperson Lt Gen Sansern Kaewkamnerd said on Monday that too much had been made of the suggestion the election could be postponed by 90 days.
“What’s the matter, really, those 90 days?” he asked.
Such a delay would not make much difference, he said, and the government was not hanging on to power or trying to find any excuse not to abide by the law.
Moreover, Sansern said a decision on whether to postpone the election did not depend solely on the government. Related laws also needed to be pursued.
He insisted that the government listened to all comments and acknowledged them. It had not been influenced by adverse polls, he said, adding that polls were produced by various institutions and sometimes produced different results.
