A by-election to fill a House seat left vacant by former Palang Pracharath (PPRP) MP for Ratchaburi, Pareena Kraikupt, is likely to be held mid-May, a source said.
Sawaeng Boonmee, secretary-general of the Election Commission (EC), has signed a letter involving a draft decree calling for the by-election in Constituency 3 to be forwarded to the cabinet's secretariat, said the source.
Once the decree takes effect, the EC will set the date for the candidacy registration and the by-election.
