(Bangkok Post photo)Two key organic laws on the election of MPs and selection of senators have received royal approval and were published in the Royal Gazette, paving the way for an election to take place by May next year. The publication of the two laws was announced on Wednesday after receiving royal endorsement. Once the laws take effect in December, the constitution requires an election to be held within 150 days. EC secretary-general Jarungvith Phumma said last week the selection process of 50 senators will begin after the organic law was royally endorsed and published in the Royal Gazette.
