webfact Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Charter advisor sees possible delay to election By The Nation Dr. Jade. Possible delays in the road map to the election has been projected by Constitution Drafting Commission (CDC) advisor Jade Donavanik on Tuesday. Jade said he saw such the possibility, considering the issues of primary voting within political parties and the upcoming MPs bill -– which, along with the Senate bill, is one of the last two organic laws required for an election to be held. Jade said it might be that primary voting does not occur, because the parties could not comply with it in time. To do this would mean another use of the absolute power available to Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha under Article 44. The other issue was whether the MPs election bill would have its promulgation period extended from three to six months. The National Council for Peace and Order would have to meet with the Election Commission, the National Legislative Assembly President, the CDC, as well as political parties and groups for consultation first. Jade said he supported the idea that concerned parties meet to discuss to work those issues out first, following what addressed under the newly invoked Article 44. He said such the meeting should have happened long time ago as it is reconciliatory and participatory.

greenchair Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 We all knew that was the case at about the end of the transition period, when it became obvious the ban on political parties would continue well into 2018. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
