Bangkok: The Pheu Thai Party and the People's Party have long reached a consensus regarding the number of referendums required, despite some past challenges in the political landscape. According to Thai News Agency, recent discussions have highlighted concerns over differing interpretations by key political figures, particularly following a decision by the Constitutional Court not to consider a related case. This has led to apprehensions about inconsistent interpretations by the Speaker of the House of Representatives, which could impact the referendum process. Mr. Phrits Wacharasindhu, spokesperson for the Prachachon Party, reinforced that both parties have consistently agreed on the legal necessity of conducting two referendums. Past attempts by Pheu Thai and coalition parties to seek clarification from the Constitutional Court on this matter have not been successful, leading to concerns about the potential for a differing judgment or interpretation from the Speaker of the House. This has resulted in the e xclusion of draft amendments related to the Constitution Drafting Assembly, submitted by the Pheu Thai and Move Forward Parties earlier this year. Mr. Parit emphasized the need for a coordinated approach involving three key figures: the President of the National Assembly, the Prime Minister, and the Constitutional Court President. A letter has been sent to these individuals to facilitate discussions on the draft constitution agenda, which is seen as crucial for the next election. This initiative aligns with both government and opposition party commitments and fulfills a government policy promise to the public. Despite sending the letter last week, Mr. Parit noted that there has been no response yet from the three individuals. However, he remains optimistic, citing positive indications from Pheu Thai Party members regarding their willingness to engage in dialogue and seek solutions. The outcome of these discussions is viewed as a critical factor in successfully drafting a new constitution ahead of the upcomi ng election.
