PDRC proposes annulment of party proportional election method

The People's Democratic Reform Committee on Tuesday proposed that the party proportional election method, under which political parties list their candidates, be annulled.

The proposal was raised by five PDRC representatives at a meeting with the Constitution Drafting Committee. The PDRC said the party-list election would allow funders to easily win House seats.
Representing the PDRC in its meeting with the CDC were Tavorn Senniem, Akanat Promphan, Samdin Lertbutr, Sathit Wongnongtoey, and Suriyasai Katasila.
Akanat said the party-list election also did not require MPs to be close to voters.
