The Fourth Army, which is responsible for southern Thailand, is prohibiting political parties from campaigning at restricted areas inside conscription venues, said its commander Lt Gen Santi Sakultanak.
The move follows reports about MP candidates from the Move Forward Party (MFP) holding rallies and criticising conscription at the venues where the annual conscription is under way.
Scrapping military conscription is one of Move Forward’s key policies. The party promises to end it in a year if elected to power.
