EC explains controversial Article 61 to charter court
THE ELECTION Commission (EC) Tuesday sent a written explanation to the Constitutional Court about the referendum law’s controversial Article 61.
In the explanation, the agency argued that the clause does not contravene the 2014 interim charter, which protects rights and freedom of expression.
EC president Supachai Somcharoen and EC member Somchai Srisuthiyakorn will testify in court on behalf of the agency if required, an EC source said yesterday.
The EC also refused to reveal details of the letter, saying it could affect the legal process.
