泰国军政权一名高层官员说，选举很可能将推迟到2016年举行。这进一步拖延了军方承诺的民主过渡。
泰国副总理普拉威星期四对记者说，宪法起草完毕后，很可能将在2016年初举行选举。
兼任国防部长的普拉威表示，推迟选举的一个原因是存在着反对军方领导层的“因素”，但他未做具体说明。
泰国法院在反对派抗议持续数月后罢免了英拉的总理职务，随后军方接掌政权。
A senior official in Thailand's military junta says elections likely will not be held until 2016, further delaying the military's promised democratic transition.
Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwan told reporters Thursday elections will likely be held "around the start of 2016, once the constitution is drafted."
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.
The military took power after Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra was ousted by a court following months of sometimes violent opposition protests.
