Applicants for the MFP crown won’t be affected.
An ex-election official claims that Pita Limjaroenrat’s acceptance of MFP election applicants will not be affected by the results of a probe into his alleged ineligibility to run for office.
Former Election Commission ( EC ) secretary-general Pol Col Jarungvith Phumma posted a hypothetical case about” Nitra ,” who was accused of the same thing as Mr. Pita, on his Facebook page.
In his capacity as the head of a recognized political party, Nitra supported the candidates for the group’s vote while also running for office using the checklist system and being nominated for prime minister.
He was charged with breaking the vote laws by owning stock in the media company Utv after the vote. He was declared unsuitable to work for the House by the court after it was determined that he had owned the stocks for five years prior to the election.
Pol Col Jarungvith claimed that despite being determined to be ineligible to cast a ballot, Nitra’s status as party leader — who supported the party candidates for office — was unaffected by the decision. Additionally, he wrote that the president of a political party is not prohibited by the laws governing political parties from owning or participating in the advertising industry.
The previous EC secretary-general’s appointment coincides with worries about the future of MFP election candidates as Mr. Pita, a candidate on the party list, is being investigated for allegedly owning 42, 000 shares of the 1990s-founded independent broadcaster iTV.
If an election member owns stock in a media company, they are constitutionally prohibited from running for office. If the situation would nullify Mr. Pita’s countenance of celebration candidates and compel a fresh election, questions are being raised.
Mr. Pita stated on Friday andnbsp that the EC has not yet contacted him to explain the nature of the share problem. He insisted that there was nothing to worry about and that the event would not have an impact on how the MFP-led coalition government may be formed.
He added that he was certain the situation did not result in a fresh election.
On Friday and NBP, political activist Ekachai Hongkangwan contacted the EC to support the vote outcome and expedite its investigation into Mr. Pita’s share-holding state.
When asked about the possibility of MFP adherents protesting Mr. Pita’s disqualification, he responded that the EC might come under pressure if it is thought to be dragging its feet or rendering an unjust decision.
He asserted that if the candidate for whom 14 million people voted is disqualified, it is appropriate for people to express their opinions and for MFP followers to protest.
Srisuwan Janya, the Association for the Protection of the Constitution’s secretary-general, presented what he claimed to be evidence to the EC on Friday to support the assertion that Mr. Pita owns the stock and that the internet company is still in operation.
He advised the EC to gather all the information and information before making a decision rather than rushing the case.
” The company does support Mr. Pita as an MP, but when it decides on the situation, it should also relate it to the Constitutional Court for a final decision ,” he said.
