Chief coalition whip demands Chart Thai Pattana's explanation over absence of 8 MPs

Pheu Thai MP Udomdej Ratanasathien, the chairman of the coalition coordination committee on parliamentary affairs, said the Chart Thai Pattana had to explain why its eight MPs failed to vote in support for the debate on the court injunction.
The court issued an injunction to have Parliament delay the third reading of charter amendment bill pending a court ruling on the bill as to whether it was unconstitutional or not.
The Parliament president on Tuesday called for a voting as to whether Parliament should debate on the injunction to find out whether the order had legal biding on the legislature or not.
But the voting found that it lacked enough support from MPs and senators to proceed with the debate. Among those who did not cast votes were eight Chart Thai Pattana MPs.
