Coalition parties, except Bhumjaithai, will vote for one-tier referendum today

11 Sept 08:26 Key points summarised by AI

Most coalition parties, led by the ruling Pheu Thai, will vote to support a one-tier referendum for constitutional amendment, while Bhumjaithai plans to abstain.
The Senate's previous approval of a two-tier referendum signals its resistance to changing the current charter, which the House of Representatives is set to reject.
The differing opinions between the House and Senate will cause the referendum bill to be put on hold for 180 days.
Critics argue the Senate is undemocratically obstructing charter amendments to protect unelected organizations and maintain the current charter.
