Election Commission yet to consider Pita’s alleged media share-holding

Move Forward party leader Pita Limjaroenrat faces a complaint alleging he holds 42,000 shares in iTV, a media company, which could disqualify him from the May 14th general election.
The Election Commission (EC) is currently reviewing the complaint, assessing if there are sufficient grounds to formally consider a potential election law violation.
Pita admitted transferring the iTV shares to family heirs to prevent political exploitation, but legal experts, drawing parallels to a previous disqualification, question the validity of his retroactive disowning claims, noting the shares were registered in his name for 17 years.

The Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand (CAAT) demanded an explanation from Airports of Thailand (AOT) after a China Airlines flight got stuck on a Suvarnabhumi runway due to heavy rain and groundwater.
CAAT urged AOT to implement technology for structural integrity testing across runways and taxiways, advocating for proactive maintenance to prevent future incidents.
AOT acknowledged that Suvarnabhumi's 20-year-old runway, built on soft soil with high water content, is structurally affected by continuous aircraft weight and heavy rainfall.
AOT committed to targeted runway maintenance during off-peak hours (10 days, 8 pm-6 am) to avoid full closure, emphasizing increased inspections and risk assessments.
