Election Commissioner Somchai Srisutthiyakorn said the EC would make a decision next week on petitioning the Constitutional Court after the National Legislative Assembly (NLA) on Thursday approved the EC draft bill it had passed earlier.

The joint law-review committee resolved after a five-hour meeting on Tuesday that the clauses questioned by the Election Commission in regard to the draft EC organic bill, including the resetting of the current EC membership, were all constitutional, committee spokesperson Somchai Sawangkarn said.
