First two pre-election organic laws submitted to NLA: Meechai
Chief Charter Drafter Meechai Ruchupan said on April 18 that he had submitted the first two organic laws essential to the next general election to the National Legislative Assembly. They are the draft bills on political parties and the Election Commission. Meechai said deliberation on these first two laws would be kick-started this week by the NLA, as he had been advised to prepare himself to explain the draft contents to assembly members. The Constitution Drafting Commission had drafted the laws following public hearings previously held by the CDC, he insisted. However, some controversial points still exist as the CDC has drafted the bills following the spirit of the newly promulgated Constitution, he added.
