Regarding the bill on the election of MPs, Wissanu said the NLA needed an official verdict from the Constitutional Court. “Once the verdict is forwarded to the government by the NLA, the prime minister will then seek royal endorsement,” he said. The Constitutional Court on Wednesday ruled that the organic bill on the election of MPs was constitutional, a week after issuing the same verdict on the bill governing the Senate’s structure. The Constitution stipulates that the Election Commission must organise a general election within 150 days of the four organic laws coming into effect. However, Meechai added that he accepted the court verdict regarding the election bill.
