BANGKOK—Around four hundred people gathered at a monument to democracy in the Thai capital on Saturday Feb. 10 to urge the military government not to delay a national election planned later this year.

Elections to restore democracy have been postponed several times with November being the latest date set by Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha, who was appointed by a military-backed legislature following a coup in 2014.
