EC likely to wait longer for clarification on MP shares
Election Commission member Sodsri Satayathum said yesterday the agency might have to postpone the deadline for 44 MPs to defend themselves with regard to shares they are holding in state concession-related companies.
It is still uncertain whether the EC will decide to interpret the meaning of the terms "common share" and "debenture" by themselves, or consult its legal team.
The charter's Article 265 prohibits MPs and senators from holding equity stakes linked to state concessions.
