Thai Charter Court rules MP election bill is constitutional

[snoop1130]

 

The Constitutional Court ruled today (Wednesday) that using 100, instead of 500, as the divider in the formula for the calculation of party-list House seat allocation, as stipulated in the MP election bill, is not unconstitutional.

 

Today, the court considered a petition, submitted by 105 MPs and senators, seeking a ruling on whether Sections 25 and 26 of the bill covering the election of House representatives contravene Sections 93 and 94 of the Constitution.

 

The court ruled by 9:0 that the bill was drafted in accordance with Section 132 of the Constitution and that Section 25 of the bill is not unconstitutional. The court also ruled, by 7:2, that Section 26 of the bill does not contravene Section 93 or 94 of the Constitution.

At this level there should not be anything but a unanimous verdict as it seems that there is still room for argument
