Thai protesters vow larger rallies after poll
  • 10 years ago
Thai protesters have vowed to stage larger rallies in central Bangkok and push ahead their efforts to nullify the results of elections held over the weekend despite disruption and protests. According to the national election commission, the voter turnout on Sunday was at least 46 percent. Despite fears of violence, voting proceeded peacefully in 90 percent of polling stations that were able to open. Protesters had forced polling booths to close in Bangkok and southern Thailand, disenfranchising registered voters. A series of by-elections are required to complete voting.
