BANGKOK -- Thailand's embattled Election Commission has up to 60 days to finalize the results of Sunday's general election -- the country's first in eight years -- but some critics of its idiosyncratic process and opaque proportional representation formulas have delivered verdicts sooner.
"Can you imagine an election, and for two months we still don't have a result?" Prinya Thaewanarumitkul, a senior Thammasat University academic, asked reporters on Thursday. "It happens only in Thailand."
