by Carla Boonkong & Pranee O' Connor

 

Mr Sutin Klangsaeng MP, Chief Whip for the Pheu Thai Party and the opposition in the House of Representatives, told reporters that next week’s Constitutional Court decision on the electoral law for deciding party list seats will be a decisive moment

The Pheu Thai Party won zero party list seats in the 2019 General Election with 21.9% of the vote, seats that ultimately, due to the single ballot system with a divisor of 500, were awarded to smaller political parties. Based on its vote share, it should have won at least 30 extra party list seats.
