Hasty EC decision to seek Charter Court ruling on Pita’s share case slammed
Move Forward party secretary-general Chaithawat Tulathon accused the Election Commission (EC) of acting suspiciously by hastily referring party leader Pita Limjaroenrat’s iTV share-holding case to the Constitutional Court without allowing Pita a defense.
The EC also requested the court to immediately suspend Pita from his MP duties, prompting Chaithawat to warn against the abuse of authority by independent organizations.
Separately, Democrat MPs unanimously decided to abstain from voting on Pita's nomination, aligning with their party's stance against supporting a candidate from a party advocating for amending the lèse majesté law.
