[snoop1130]

 

The Constitutional Court has dismissed a petition accusing House speaker Wan Muhamad Noor Matha of attempting to topple the democratic system by negating Move Forward party leader Pita Limjaroenrat’s renomination for prime minister.

 

The petition was lodged by Bandhit Poomthip, asking the court to rule whether the action by the Speaker, to order a vote during a joint sitting of the House and Senate on July 19 to determine whether Pita’s renomination, was against parliamentary rule 41.

 

Bandhit accused the House speaker of abusing his authority in a way which was deemed, by the petitioner, to be an attempt to topple the democratic system in the country.

That depends on how you read the complaint to which the CC was responding.
