Pheu Thai protects Sudarat against ban

23 Sept 01:51 Key points summarised by AI

Pheu Thai strategically shields Sudarat Keyuraphan from a potential political ban by designating her as a prime ministerial candidate without an executive party position.
This maneuver aims to circumvent a looming party dissolution threat and a 10-year ban for executives, stemming from the Election Commission's investigation into alleged "outsider" influence from Thaksin Shinawatra.
The political landscape sees similar protective tactics employed by other parties like Chat Thai Pattana, as the general election approaches amidst ongoing scrutiny of party affiliations.

Uthenthawai students and alumni declare truce with Pathumwan rivals

Yesterday 20:34 Key points summarised by AI

Uthenthawai students and alumni have pledged to cease violent clashes with Pathumwan Institute rivals, coinciding with their campus's reopening after a 90-day closure.
The Minister of Higher Education is mediating the long-running conflict, while the campus closure has significantly disrupted in-person classes and laboratory work for over 1,000 students.
Uthenthawai resists relocation from its current site, citing a historical land grant from King Rama VI, despite Chulalongkorn University's plans to reclaim the land for an educational hub.
Concerns are mounting over the legality of the campus closure, its detrimental impact on uninvolved students, and the potential commercial development of the land, which critics argue contradicts the late King Rama VI's intentions.
