Thai Military neutral and ready to accept poll outcome: Prayuth

Thai Army chief General Prayuth Chan-ocha on Tuesday pledged the military to remain neutral and ready to accept the balloting outcome regardless of which party emerged the winner.

“Everyone should think about the country staying on the path of democracy via the ballot box,” he said, dismissing scenarios like the poll being derailed or the balloting plagued by violence.

Prayuth said he had already instructed his subordinates to prepare for the elections and assist to ensure security at balloting stations.
