The Progressive Movement on Monday submitted 80,772 signatures it has gathered nationwide to Parliament, petitioning the amendment of Article 14 of the Constitution and demanding the shifting of power from the central government to local administrative organisations (LAOs).

Meechai Ruchupan, head of the Constitution Drafting Commission (CDC), said he could not argue against the National Legislative Assembly (NLA) committee’s vetting of the organic law allowing Constitutional Court judges to stay in position until their terms end.
