BANGKOK: Reporters at Parliament said that on Thursday (Dec 11) joint sitting to consider the charter amendment bill in its second reading, article by article, MPs voted on Section 256/28 and rejected the recommendation of the majority on the vetting committee.

The committee had proposed that future constitutional amendments be approved by a simple majority of the joint sitting, but the meeting instead opted to revert to the requirement that at least one-third of senators support any amendment.
