Thai election invalidated

The Thai Constitution Court today announced that the 2nd April general election was invalid. They decided that the Election Commissioners were biased in favour of TRT, and that new EC regulations regarding polling booths were illegal. For the general election, polling booths were repositioned, so that EC staff could watch people as they voted. The Constitution Court has declared this a gross invasion of privacy, and scheduled a new general election for 15th October. (Thaksin will remain caretaker Prime Minister until the election, but will resign once a new PM is chosen by the winning party.)
