泰國軍政權一名高層官員說，選舉很可能將推遲到2016年舉行。這進一步拖延了軍方承諾的民主過渡。

Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwan told reporters Thursday elections will likely be held "around the start of 2016, once the constitution is drafted."

泰國副總理普拉威星期四對記者說，憲法起草完畢後，很可能將在2016年初舉行選舉。

Prawit, who is also defense minister, said one reason for the delay is the existence of unspecified "elements" that are opposed to the military leadership.

兼任國防部長的普拉威表示，推遲選舉的一個原因是存在着反對軍方領導層的“因素”，但他未做具體說明。

The military took power after Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra was ousted by a court following months of sometimes violent opposition protests.

泰國法院在反對派抗議持續數月後罷免了英拉的總理職務，隨後軍方接掌政權。
