The People's Party (PP) on Wednesday submitted two constitutional amendment bills to parliament proposing mechanisms for drafting a new constitution while reaffirming three key principles: public participation, prevention of political monopolisation and opposition to expanding the Senate's special powers.
At parliament, PP leader Natthaphong Ruengpanyawut said the proposals were designed to overcome obstacles created by Constitutional Court ruling No. 18/2568, which the party views as inconsistent with democratic principles because it limits the public's ability to directly choose constitution drafters.
