A PPRP list-MP gave his assurances on Thursday the government would refrain from proceeding with a petition seeking the Constitutional Court's review on the legality of the opposition's upcoming no-confidence motion.
The petition, which was sponsored by Palang Pracharath Party-list MP Paiboon Nititawan, would ask the House of Representatives to seek the court's ruling on the legality of the opposition's no-confidence motion after it refused to reword sections mentioning the monarchy.
The process to obtain the court's ruling is potentially time-consuming, and is seen by government critics as an attempt to stall the censure debate, which is set to take place on Feb 16–Feb 19.
