Yaowapa picked for by-election

Yaowapa Wongsawat has been selected as the Pheu Thai candidate in the April 21 by-election for the vacant seat in Chiang Mai's constituency 3, party spokesman Prompong Nopparit said on Tuesday.

The selection of Mrs Yaowapa, a younger sister of former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, was made at the meeting of Pheu Thai executive committee.

Mr Prompong said Mrs Yaowapa was the only person nominated at the meeting.

Pheu Thai on Tuesday also held a meeting of its MPs to discuss constitutional amendment.

The meeting agreed that the party should propose amendments to Sections 68, 190, 237 and 117 of the constitution.

A draft amendment bill, signed by Pheu Thai MPs and a number of senators, would be submitted for House deliberation on March 20, Mr Prompong said.
