Play
The Constitutional Court Thursday decided to proceed with judicial review of two more petitions against the controversial amendment to Article 68 of the charter.
The court voted 5 to 4 to review the petitions filed by Chamlong Srimuang and five other members of the People’s Alliance for Democracy and by Democrat Party MP Wirat Kalayasiri.
But the court refused to issue an injunction to suspend the on-going amendment to Article 68.
The Democrat MP and Chamlong were told to make 312 copies of their petitions to send to 312 MPs and senators, whom were complained against in the petitions.
The bill seeking to amend Article 68 has been passed in the first reading and is now being vetted by a special committee of the Senate and House.
