Move Forward suspects foul play in controversy over iTV’s legal status

13 Sept 08:42 Key points summarised by AI

Move Forward Party (MFP) accuses iTV of foul play, citing a critical discrepancy between its chairman's verbal statement and official meeting minutes regarding the company's status as an active media firm.
MFP alleges a conspiracy to block its leader, Pita Limjaroenrat, from the premiership by falsely presenting iTV as an operational media company, which would disqualify him due to alleged shareholdings.
The party highlights a contradiction: iTV's 2022 financial statement lists "television" and "advertising" as business activities, directly opposing the chairman's claim that the company is not operating as a media entity.
MFP notes suspicious timing, with the issue of Pita's alleged shareholding being raised by a candidate and activist just days before the contentious iTV shareholder meeting.
