The cabinet has approved a royal decree to hold a by-election in Constituency 9 in Bangkok which is expected to be held on Jan 30, according to Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam.
The date is to be set officially when the decree is announced later. But the poll is expected on Jan 30.
The by-election is being called to fill a vacancy left by Sira Jenjaka who was disqualified as a ruling Palang Pracharath Party (PPRP) MP last week by the Constitutional Court.
Sira was convicted of fraud by the Pathumwan District Court in 1995 and sentenced to eight months in jail.
