The election committee of Bangkok has rejected the United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship's (UDD) request to dispatch 10,000 volunteers to observe the March 3 Bangkok governor election inside polling units.

The request was submitted to the Election Commission and the election committee of Bangkok on Wednesday.

Taweesak Tuchinda, chairman of the Bangkok election committee, said the law does not allow outsiders inside polling units.

Discussion 15....by my knowledge BBC and CNN are not newspapers..They are TV stations....who got scandalously "influenced "by the propaganda- or worse- from the lobbyists of the great fugitive.....Calling terrorists, killers and arsonists " peaceful grassroots" is forever a blemish...which puts them at the same gutter level of Thaksins red TV channel over here!

You should read more closely the writings in the BBC and CNN. If that is not pro red then what is? Both of those highly recognized media outlets have always been sympathizers of Shinawatra. Go back in time and prove I am wrong.....can't do it? I know you can't!

First burning the city, shooting looting and terrorising its citizens and then having the guts to send their red thug troops to intimidate the voters??? The reds are truly from another planet and they sincerely believe they are above every single law in Thailand....Poor country

Contrarian....15 seconds?? In 15 milliseconds I can tell you there are no pro red English newspapers and there will not be unless the great fugitive pumps a few millions in one....Why?? Because the nonsense, the denials, the inventions and perversions of the truth by the red thug leadership, their gullible followers and their handful of propagandists can only be produced in the red villages!

glad that common sense prevails in certain parts of the authority,to have the very people who burnt,looted and intimidated bangkokian people going about their everyday business for 2 months whilst the police just stood by and allowed it to happen,it would have been a insult to those and completely undemocratic

.

Pol Lt-Gen Taweesak Tuchinda, chairman of the Bangkok election committee,you sir, made sense.

BTW, in what role, does the one rep of each candidate call for in the election cage ? booth ? room ? Can he wear the team shirt with team logo etc.

If every candidate can have ONE EACH, as the guy said, we have 24 candidates ? and 24 reps in one cage? booth? room?

C'mon now ! Please ! Get real !

No one means NO ONE

I have been an observer at these polling places, and it is easy, even from a distance. For starters, count the number of voters. Make sure ballots at the end of the day match up. The counting process is also easy to monitor, as it is done very tranparently. As long as one challenges unforeseen shenanigans. Mysteriously all the light went off during the count once. You can imagine the possibilities if counting continues. Car headlight were quickly deployed. To speak of UDD shenanigans and PAD-Dem angelics, is agenda from the get go. Like trying to suggest only one side engages in vote buying. I hope the UDD/Red Shirts are out in force.

The anti-UDD/Red Shirts opinionating runs rampant, above. Yet they win elections. So who is at fault? Is the electorate befuddled, or are Farangs because of the English Language Media......Quick, in 15 seconds, detail pro-UDD/Red Shirt English language media that you read......None?... I'm not surprised... Someone asked me in a PM why I was defending the UDD/Red Shirts. I see it more as 'informing', in the absence of anything else. Let readers draw their own conclusions. I appreciate the BKK. Post posting them. Other venues refuse, for fear of influencing Farangs contrary to their stated editorial positions.
