EC dismisses media shareholding complaints against Move Forward party leader

Thailand's Election Commission (EC) unanimously dismissed three complaints against Move Forward party leader Pita Limjaroenrat concerning his alleged 42,000 shares in iTV, a media company.
The EC rejected the complaints due to being lodged beyond the permissible time limits for consideration.
Despite the dismissal, the EC noted sufficient factual and behavioral details within the complaints to initiate a new probe into whether Pita knowingly violated election laws by registering his candidacy while potentially unqualified.
Pita, awaiting official notification, expressed confidence in his case, comparing it to a predecessor's situation but asserting he would not face a similar political ban.

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.
