The opposition Pheu Thai Party has decided to propose four motions, seeking broader amendments of the Constitution, including Section 272, to exclude senators from process of electing the Prime Minister, and Section 270, to revoke the powers of the Senate regarding national reforms.

 

The party also appealed for cross party support, as well as from senators, for its four motions, which also include the amendment of Section 256, for the creation of the Constitution Drafting Assembly to write a new charter, and revocation of Section 279, which legitimizes all the orders issued and actions taken by the military junta, which toppled the government of Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra about six years ago in a military coup, otherwise known as the National Council for Peace and Order.

 

Besides the motion to limit the powers of senators, Pheu Thai leader Sompong Amornvivat told a press conference today that the party also proposes to amend Section 159 of the Constitution, to enable MPs to elect the Prime Minister from the list of nominees proposed by parties and from among MPs.
