The Election Commission (EC ) says it has dismissed almost 50 complaints filed against the , Pheu Thai Party seeking its disbandment, leaving only six cases under investigation.
On Tuesday, EC Secretary-General Sawaeng Boonmee reported that 160 requests have been submitted requesting the disintegration of social functions. Fifty-three were filed against Pheu Thai, while the criticism Women’s Party was the goal of three three problems.
Just six complaints against the coalition government’s direct party are still being investigated, he said, and 47 others have been dropped because there aren’t enough grounds.
One of the rejected issues, which accused the group of seeking to overthrow the government, had already been dismissed by the Constitutional Court, Mr Sawaeng noted.
Many of the problems against Pheu Thai center on Thaksin Shinawatra, the country’s de facto father, since his release on probation in February of this year. Criticisms claim that the party’s breakdown could be a result of his exerting influence over the government led by his daughter.
Mr. Sawaeng said an exploratory committee is gathering facts from both plaintiffs and the accused in response to allegations of Pheu Thai’s supremacy over different parties. Due to the fact that there are six different political parties involved in the case, it has requested that the analysis be delayed.
He claimed that the EC had urged the council to expedite the research and ensure fairness, but that it would not tamper with the process.
He also touched on the upcoming Provincial Administrative Organization ( PAO ) election in Ubon Ratchathani on December 22 and said he anticipated it to be as fiercely competitive as the recent Udon Thani vote, in which the Pheu Thai candidate defeated the People’s Party.
This reflects tremendous public attention, he said.
He claimed that the EC is carefully monitoring the situation while all individuals and battle aides have so far been reported to had followed the law.
Political events tend to be careful, especially when their efforts are under public attention, he said. He continued, noting that the campaign’s prominent figures are less likely to engage in lawful hegemony.
Another high-profile situation the EC is handling involves Senator Keskamol Pleansamai, who has been accused of misrepresenting her knowledge and skills. According to Mr. Sawaeng, the investigation into her academic background was progressing.
Additionally, Ms. Keskamol is accused of buying seats. According to Mr. Sawaeng, that investigation involves tracing financial transactions that require medical evidence and checking contacts between individuals.
He emphasized that the EC concentrates on ensuring that election laws are followed, including valid qualifications and legitimate plan procedures on election day. Any breaches of other laws are outside the EC’s control, he said.
