Thailand's Election Commission has called for a postponement of at least one month of the snap elections currently scheduled for February 2, citing civil unrest and bloodshed during nearly three months of massive street demonstrations.

However, the head of Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra's ruling Puea Thai Party rejected Monday's recommendation, as the party has since Thailand's Constitutional Court ruled last Friday that such a delay is legal.

Yingluck is due to meet election officials Tuesday to discuss the election date.

The prime minister dissolved parliament early last month and called the snap elections in an attempt to end weeks of protests by anti-government demonstrators who want her to step down and turn the government over to an unelected council.

泰国选举委员会要求将原定2月2日举行的提前选举至少推迟一个月，理由是近三个月大规模街头示威期间造成了社会动荡和流血事件。

然而，总理英拉所在的执政党“为泰党”的领导人拒绝了星期一的建议。自从泰国宪法法院上星期五裁决推迟大选合法后，为泰党一直拒绝接受推迟选举的呼吁。

英拉将于星期二会见选举官员，讨论选举日期问题。

她在上个月初解散了议会，并呼吁提前选举，试图结束持续了几个星期的反政府示威。抗议者要求英拉下台，将政府交给一个非选举产生的委员会。
