(FB/peerasak.porjit)Phuket: National Legislative Assembly (NLA) vice-chairman Peerasak Porjit has denied reports that an organic bill governing the election of MPs has been rejigged to buy some more time for the government to stay on in power. The NLA voted on Jan 25 to extend enforcement of the organic bill governing the election of MPs by another 90 days. Mr Peerasak said the next step is for the NLA to forward the bill to the EC, and the Constitution Drafting Committee (CDC) to consider the bill for 10 days. The organic bill governing the election of MPs is among four organic bills essential for holding an election which have cleared the NLA. The bill on the EC is being checked by the court concerning the qualifications of election commissioners.
