Request for judicial review of charter bills considered

Parliament presidentPale Muhamad Noor Mathawill meet whips from the government, opposition, and Senate to determine whether a motion seeking a judicial review of some controversial charter amendment bills is urgent.

The decision Pheu Thai Party ( Pheu Thai ) filed the issue, asking parliament to request a Constitutional Court ruling regarding whether parliament has the authority to completely amend the contract without conducting a first-ever election.

According to Mr. Wan, the whip ‘ scheduled conference is to discuss the joint sessions ‘ schedule and explain the chamber’s priorities in order to avoid any potential conflict or disturbance.

This is to avoid the political sessions from collapsing after the joint sessions to examine two constitutional amendment bills, which were aborted because there was no quorum present.

Wisut Chainaroon, a member of the Pheu Thai list and MP, said on Wednesday that the outcome of the whips meeting with Mr. Wan may determine when the action would be put up for a vote.

He stated that he anticipates the cabinet’s essential matters to be put on the plan after the combined conference has finished.

Before March 9, these issues need legislative approval.

He said,” I understand that the charter issues may not be ready for the upcoming joint sitting, and they must wait until after that.”

Following the collapse of the mutual meetings on February 13 and 14, due to divergent viewpoints among parliamentarians, Mr. Wisut proposed and signed the contract amendment-related motion.

Some argued that attempting to amend the contract to permit a full rewrite of the law could violate the 2021 decision, which requires a vote to determine whether voters wanted a new law first.

Others contend that the legislature’s role is to take into account and vote on both drafts of constitutional amendments in order to build the requirements for creating a Constitution Drafting Assembly by adding Section 15/1.

A referendum may be held to see if the community agrees with the constitutional amendment after parliament approves it.
