Play
The 312 Parliamentarians, led by Government chief whip Amnuay Klangpha and Senator Krich Attikaew announced on Wednesday that they would not accept the judicial decision on the charter amendment bill related to election of the Senate on Wednesday.
Amnuay said MPs and Senators have the right to amend the Constitutional by article 291. The Constitutional Court has no authority to consider its case.
“We would not obey or comply with the court's ruling. Should the ‘worst-case’ scenario occur, Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra would not take responsibility for royal endorsement," Amnuy said.
He denied that Parliamentarians had the intention of pressuring the court but merely wanted to make the public aware of their stance.
Krich said the MPs and senators would seek impeachment of the nine justices yet if the court rules in favour of the opposition.
