The CDC will then get back to working on the contentious point concerning the introduction of primary voting in the new political party bill so that it can table the bill, along with Election Commission (EC)’s own bill governing itself, for the National Legislative Assembly to deliberate on shortly after the promulgation of the new charter, said CDC chief Meechai Ruchupan yesterday.

The charter is scheduled to be submitted at 8.59am at Government House.

“The CDC will hand over the charter draft to PM Prayut by ourselves as it’s critically important,” Meechai said.

Two weeks ago the Constitution Court ruled that the CDC’s first revision of the charter draft was against the will of the August 7 referendum on the charter.

The court also said the charter should be specific on the period of time that this would take place – when there was a Parliament in place and not after an MP election as first revised by the CDC.

The CDC finished revising the article on Friday.
