Red-shirts to monitor governor poll

The United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD) will set up a team of red-shirts to monitor the Bangkok governor election scheduled for early March, to ensure a fair and transparent poll.

Speaking at a press conference at Imperial Lat Phrao Shopping Centre on Friday, UDD chairwoman Tida Tawornseth said the group would be set up soon.

Members of the group would be responsible for monitoring the election to prevent any possible fraud, just as the UDD had successfully achieved in the July 2011 general election, she said.

    If there were red shirts inside or outside the polling stations hanging around I would call that intimidation. Straight to the electoral commission I would go and if plenty of other people did likewise. Bye Bye PTP.
