A last-ditch effort to settle the wrangle over the calculation of list-MPs will succeed on Monday provided the quorum is met, said Sathit Pitutecha, chair of the parliamentary panel scrutinising the organic bill that governs the calculation method.
Parliamentarians are bound by a common legislative duty to work to pass a law. The fate of the list-MP calculation formula in the draft of the organic bill on the election of MPs rests with the joint sitting in parliament, he said.
Lawmakers were split over whether to use the number 100 or 500 in calculating how list MPs are allocated.
