Govt dominance over CDA feared: opposition whip

Opposition whip Narit Khumnurak on Thursday voiced concern about the coalition's dominance to form the Constitution Drafting Assembly, seen as a key to the outcome for the charter rewrite.

“I don’t completely trust in the government because certain elements might try to dominate the CDC formation,” he said.
Narit said even though the coalition pledged to have charter writers elected from 77 provinces, he was still concerned that the CDC elections could be rigged to ensure the pro-government outcome.
He reminded the government to push for charter amendments designed to serve the public.
