NLA refers MP election bill to Constitution Court
The National Legislative Assembly (NLA) submitted the MP election bill to the Constitution Court on Tuesday for it to decide whether the legislation is constitutional.
NLA President Pornpetch Wichitcholchai said he had received a letter from the Prime Minister, General Prayut Chan-o-cha, who had given the green light for the NLA to send the matter to the Court.
As concern has been increasing that the election in February may not be possible, Pornpetch added that the NLA had asked the Court to rush its deliberation to ensure the election road map is not affected.
