Pita complains of unfair treatment by the Election Commission
Move Forward party leader Pita Limjaroenrat alleges unfair treatment by the Election Commission (EC) for submitting his iTV share case to the Constitutional Court without allowing him a defense.
Pita asserts iTV ceased operations 17 years ago, precluding any personal benefit, and highlights prior assurances from both the National Anti-Corruption Commission and EC that his shares posed no issue.
He questions the EC's timing, noting the decision came just one day before the prime minister selection, and suggests it's a deliberate attempt to obstruct the formation of a new coalition government.
