BANGKOK, May 29 (Xinhua) -- The full bench of 86 Supreme Court judges sets
to convene on Wednesday to debate whether to nominate four candidates for the
Senate to pick two to fill vacant seats into the Election Commission (EC) of
Thailand.
"Whatever the outcome of the debate should help improving the
political situation," high court secretary Wirach Chinwinijkul wasquoted by the
web-news of Thai English newspaper the Nation as saying on Monday.
The high court expects the EC to review its own performance relating to the
April 2 vote and decide what it can do in line with the national interest,
Wirach said.
He was referring to the summit of three top courts two weeks ago calling
for the EC members to step aside paving way for the judicial intervention to
restore the credibility of the electoral process.
Earlier this month, Thai Constitution Court officially announced the
invalidation of the unconstitutional April 2 snap polls after a deliberative
verdict on this issue and called for the five-top-member EC to resign. But EC
rejected the propose although one of them died and another sent in his papers.
The conflict between the Supreme Court and the EC has made a deadlock to
the new round general elections. Enditem
