Thai court says April poll "unconstitutional"
Mon May 8, 2006 03:11 AM ET
BANGKOK (Reuters) - Thailand's Constitutional Court ruled on Monday that the inconclusive April 2 general election was unconstitutional and a new poll should be held.
"The Constitutional Court voted 8 to 6 that the elections were unconstitutional and voted 9 to 5 to hold a new election," Judge Ura Wangomklang told reporters immediately after the court met.
A court spokesman later confirmed the ruling and said it was up to the government to set the date for a new election.
