Charter drafters oppose EC having power to disqualify poll candidates
THE Constitution Drafting Committee could not accept the Election Commission (EC)'s proposal to maintain its authority to disqualify election candidates, CDC spokesman Kamnoon Sidhisamarn said Tuesday.
The CDC had resolved to transfer the EC’s power to issue “red cards” to the courts.
EC member Somchai Srisuthiyakorn said the election agency would ask the CDC Wednesday to maintain its power to issue red and yellow cards to election candidates.
