election laws that were adopted by the National Assembly earlier this week, allowing
the redistribution of the seats of the main opposition party CNRP to other
parties if it is dissolved.
Forty out of 61 senators voted to support the amendments.
The amendments mean the seats of any party dissolved will be divided between other parties, as set out in the legislation. Methods and formulation of distributing the seats to other parties are also defined in the new laws.
