BANGKOK, 16 March 2015 – A group of representatives from the Constitution Drafting Committee has left for Germany on an official government invitation to learn about the country’s election system.
The visiting trip has seen the participation of CDC members, who were joined by representatives from the National Legislative Assembly and the National Reform Council as well as nine election commissioners and academics.
The trip, scheduled for March 15 to 20 and led by CDC Chairman Borwornsak Uwanno, is in response to an official invitation of the government of Germany in order for the group to get first-hand information about the German-style election system, which Thailand could adopt in its upcoming poll.
According to CDC spokesman Gen. Lertrat Ratanavanich, the trip would not only focus on the study of Germany’s election system but also other related elements that Thailand can make use for its charter drafting process.
