Parliament votes in favour of People's party’s charter amendments bill

11 Sept 01:08 Key points summarised by AI

Parliament voted to advance the People's party’s constitutional amendment draft bill for scrutiny, favoring it over the Bhumjaithai party’s proposal.
During initial readings, both the People's and Bhumjaithai drafts passed, but the Pheu Thai party’s version was rejected due to a shortfall in required senator votes.
A 43-member parliamentary panel has been formed to review the two surviving drafts, with the People's party's version designated as the primary draft for consideration.
The amendment aims to pave the way for crafting a new Constitution, with Parliament President Wan Muhamad Noor Matha urging its completion by December 20th.
