EC - Next election may not be held according to amended charter if House is dissolved too soon

Thailand's Election Commission (EC) lacks the legal authority to conduct the next general election under the amended Constitution if the House is dissolved before two critical election bills are enacted.
Should an early dissolution occur, the existing, older election law would apply, mandating all parties to have branch offices and hold primaries in all 400 constituencies.
Many political parties may not possess the resources or capability to comply with these demanding requirements under the old law.
To prevent this complex scenario, the House should remain undissolved until the two essential election-related bills officially become law.
