Move Forward executive to press for expulsion of Bangkok MP for sexual harassment

1 Oct 23:46 Key points summarised by AI

Move Forward party leader Chaithawat Tulathong will convene an executive committee meeting to consider expelling Bangkok MP Chaiyamparwaan Manpianjit.
The move follows Chaiyamparwaan's public apology for sexual harassment, which party leaders deemed insincere and damaging to the three female volunteer victims.
Chaiyamparwaan's attempt to present a victim's statement to prove consent during his apology intensified calls for his expulsion from executive members.
While another MP, Wuttiphong Thonglour, was already dismissed for similar misconduct, Chaiyamparwaan insists he will only resign if the Election Commission finds him at fault.
