Ruangkrai urges EC to dissolve all eight coalition parties

Political activist Ruangkrai Leekitwattana petitioned the Election Commission (EC) to dissolve the eight-party coalition, alleging their Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) infringes on the Political Parties Act by undermining party independence.
Ruangkrai further submitted evidence against Move Forward leader Pita Limjaroenrat, claiming his 42,000 shares in ITV, a public broadcasting company, disqualify him as an electoral candidate.
While Ruangkrai asserted he acted alone and without fear of reprisal, Pheu Thai leader Cholnan Srikaew defended the MoU as a voluntary agreement and warned Ruangkrai of potential legal action for making false allegations.
