Charter Court to consider accepting Pita’s iTV shareholding case on Wednesday
13 Sept 10:32Key points summarised by AI
The Constitution Court will meet Wednesday to consider accepting the Election Commission's petition to rule on Move Forward party leader Pita Limjaroenrat's parliamentary status, stemming from an alleged iTV media shareholding.
If the court accepts the case, it could issue an injunction to suspend Pita from his MP duties; this consideration aligns with the second joint parliamentary sitting to vote on his prime ministerial candidacy, following his failure to secure enough votes in the first round.
