Ruangkrai Leekitwana, a political activist, has filed a complaint with the Election Commission (EC ) regarding the legitimacy of her resignation as director of 20 companies as well as the allegations that her father, Thaksin Shinawatra, allegedly manipulated Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra.
On Wednesday, Mr. Ruangkrai, a member of the Palang Pracharath Party ( PPRP ), wrote to the EC to request an investigation into Ms. Paetongtarn on both issues.
The first is related to her leaving her position as director at 20 different companies. Fourteen are based in Bangkok, three are located in Lamphun, two are in Pathum Thani, including the Alpine Golf Club, and one is in Nakhon Ratchasima.
All of the defections, which took effect soon, were submitted by Ms Paetongtarn on Aug 15, the day before the House of Representatives voted her in as prime minister.
Mr. Ruangkrai inquired how she could send so many resignations on her own in a single moment.
He claimed that he asked Ms. Paetongtarn to provide evidence of her defections, but she declined.
The next point involves Ms. Paetongtarn’s alleged moral obligation to her father as prime minister.
