The House committee provides finished reworking the highly contentious set up amendment to the organic law on the selection of MPs to be able to compliant with the brand new list-MP calculation method, said Nikorn Chamnong, the committee secretary.
The particular reworked draft is usually expected to return to parliament for a vote next week.
The particular organic bill has been withdrawn from parliamentary deliberation on Wednesday and sent back for another round of primary scrutiny to ensure it is compatible with the new way of calculating party-list MPs.
The bill was initially looked at by the House committee headed by Sathit Pitutecha, a Liberal Party MP, in order to stipulate that the one hundred party-list seats available in future polls would use a calculation method dividing the population of voters simply by 100, thus determining how many list-MPs every party would get.
Yet minority members of the vetting committee, mostly from small events, insisted the canton be divided simply by 500, which would give such parties an extra edge.
The vetting committee later settled just for 100. But when the particular bill was offer parliament, a majority of congress voted for five hundred instead.
The inconsistency had to be ironed out, prompting its return to the Sathit panel upon Tuesday. The panel spent less than twenty four hours completing the task on Wednesday.
Mr Nikorn mentioned Section 24/1, that contains details of the computation method, was put into the original version of the draft while Section 26 was modified to specify the calculation formula in the event a by-election is called in a constituency, which might prompt the computation of existing list-MPs to be re-adjusted.
With five hundred as divisor, the voter populations from both the constituency plus list systems must be combined.
