On 11 December 2025 at 11:30 PM, during the second joint parliamentary session (extraordinary session) on the agenda of the Draft Amendment to the Constitution of the Kingdom of Thailand (B.E. …), chaired by Mr. Wan Muhamad Noor Matha, President of the Parliament, the meeting proceeded to consider urgent motions.
After members of parliament submitted five urgent motions requesting the Parliament to approve and instruct the Cabinet to conduct a national referendum to ask the public’s opinion on the drafting of a new constitution in a similar manner, Mr. Chada Thaiset, MP for Uthai Thani from the Bhumjaithai Party, rose to say that he wished the matter to be concluded before midnight; otherwise, there could be implications concerning legal provisions.
Mr. Wan Muhamad Noor then stated to the assembly that it was appropriate to send the questions to the Cabinet for consideration and further arrangement of the referendum. With no objections, he exercised authority under Rule 61 to ask the meeting whether anyone held a different view.
In the end, the Parliament voted: 494 in favor, 1 opposed, 9 abstentions, and 1 not voting.
