A move by five election commissioners-designate to choose an Election Commission (EC) chairman from among their ranks risks violating the law, an academic has warned. They will meet on Tuesday to pick a chairman, Mr Pornpetch said. The last two EC members could also have problem a working with the chairman who they did not choose, he said. While the EC can adequately function with five commissioners, it is not right to choose the chairman at this time, Mr Jade said. The five current election commissioners will be replaced once the figures backed by the NLA receive royal endorsement.
