Article 44 move ‘won’t advantage a military party’
Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam has dismissed speculation that the use of Article 44 to amend the political party law will benefit the establishment of a new military party.
He insisted that the amendment will benefit everyone who wanted to enter politics. The amendment will see an extension of the period of time political parties need to prepare themselves ahead of the election.
These activities include updating and registration of party membership, and for new parties, the opportunity to seek founders, raise funds and register their parties.
Wissanu said the extension would be done in steps. The first 90 days would be for updating lists of party members.
