A person who allegedly had an encounter with a Buddhist monk has filed a departure from the Democratic Party, which the party has decided to do.

On Saturday, group official Ramet Rattanachaweng revealed the findings of its fact-finding research into the wrongdoing involving the young monk and the party member.

The board, chaired by previous MP Theerachart Pangwirunrak, questioned the girl and different people, including witnesses. It concluded on Friday that there were grounds to the claims, said Mr Ramet, who also sat on the commission. He declined to go into details.

The panel concluded that the lady had broken party rules that forbids members from acting in a manner that may harm the party’s reputation, according to Mr. Ramet. Especially, she breached party rules No. 124 by acting in a dishonest manner, and the commission decided to remove her.

The panel did send party chief Chalermchai Sri-on, who will forward the document to the Democratic executive committee, its results and the person’s resignation letter.

The actions come after a video that was posted on the famous Facebook page E- Sor Khayee Khao on Wednesday, which claimed an 18-year-old monk and a 45-year-old politician had an adulterous relationship.

The woman’s father, who had been informed that a priest was staying there, drove from Bangkok to the child’s home in Sukhothai to find out about the matter. When he arrived, he discovered the young man’s partner snuggling up with him. The&nbsp set attempted to abuse him while they were taking videos with their smartphone while they ran naked from the base.

The priest later renounced his religious commitments and fled from an Uttaradit church.

The husband claimed to have first met the feminine politician during a merit-making event at a church during the famous Hon Krasae speak show on TV Channel 3.

He moved from Bangkok to sit with her at her home in Sukhothai after they got engaged in May 2022. They lived like husband and wife but were not already married, he said.

He claimed that his wife had met the young monk at a temple a few years ago during a kathin ( robe presentation ) ceremony. She eventually bonded with the priest, and she frequently visited his temple. His wife even believed in wealth- telling and previous life, he added.
