BANGKOK, 8 October 2016 (NNT) – The Constitution Drafting Commission (CDC) will submit the permanent charter draft to the Prime Minister this Tuesday, one day ahead of the deadline. 

CDC chairperson Meechai Ruchuphan said the drafting team is speeding up the amendment of the constitution draft, revising it to comply with the secondary question of the August 7 referendum. 

The Constitutional Court earlier resolved that the permanent charter was not in line with the secondary question and instructed the CDC to make appropriate adjustments to it within 15 days. 

Meechai expects the revised draft to be in the hands of the Prime Minister this Tuesday, October 11, which is one day before the deadline. 

In the meantime, he said the CDC is writing two draft organic acts concerning the Election Commission (EC) and political parties while assuring that the two draft acts will be presented to the national legislature right after the permanent constitution is promulgated.

Election should be one day ahead of time then?

There is just no stopping these guys, they continue drafting with gusto. They draft, revise the draft, make the draft a permanent draft, now they draft something organic. I guess when you're in the zone you just keep on drafting. Energizer Bunnies. Too much Red Bull.

Methinks the draft is daft and full of holes. Anybody else feel the breeze blowing in from right field. I wonder if this "final" draft is even close to what the people voted on. To sum things up some but very few will eat cake and the rest will be lucky to get moldy rice. I hear there is lots of that in storage.
