Meechai assures no “set zero” for old political parties

By Thai PBS

 

 

Constitution Drafting Committee (CDC) chairman Meechai Ruchupan reiterated on Sunday (Dec 24) that the NCPO’s order 53/2560 was not intended to “set zero” the memberships of old political parties, but to ease time constraint to allow old and new parties alike to make preparations so that they can contest the next general election.

 

Mr Meechai who is also a member of the NCPO said that new political parties which are yet to be set up need extra time for the preparations whereas the old or existing parties could start their verification of their old party memberships although they could not call a general party meeting yet due to technical problem.

 

However, he noted that this process of preparations must be completed within 30 days as of April 1, 2018.

military stooge; zero credibility

It sounds like the junta may have a new party trick up their sleeve.  The so called democrats may need to align themselves with the PTP to create a government for and by the people.  What a mess.

Sorry, the decision is not up to him!

You old goat Meechai; you ain't fooling anyone. Chief charter writer of 2 post coups charters and excluded from the 1997 people's charter. Said it all. Written a highly skewed charter that favours the establishment and the military. 

Sounds like someone is driving a dump truck down the Road of Democracy and tossing out cider blocks and road spikes for all who may wish to follow.

At the end of the day what ever we say here makes no difference. Its up to the Thai people to challenge this Government. Maybe they are a patient lot waiting to see what will happen?
