The joint committee to review the controversial organic law on political parties will be established on July 20, the spokesman for the National Legislative Assembly whip said on Tuesday.

GENERAL Somjet Boomthanom, in his capacity as chair of the law-vetting committee, keeps asking them to focus on the fundamental principle so that they can come to terms with the newly introduced primary election system. They said they agree, but still are hesitant to immediately accept it, citing all the technical problems that will emerge following the introduction of the system.
