Constitutional judges to rule on election bill

The Constitutional Court on Wednesday accepted to review a bill concerning the election and a junta order concerning the political party organic law.

The National Legislative Assembly early this month filed a petition to the court over the constitutionality of the MP election bill.
The ombudsman sought a court ruling on the constitutionality of junta order No 53/60 which amended two articles of the political party organic law.
Parties were requested to submit further explanation on the cases by April 25.
Concerns were raised that the review of the bill may delay the election date but Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha earlier vowed that the process would not affect the timetable for the election.
