People’s party vows no letup in fight for people-centred democratic system

13 Sept 12:40 Key points summarised by AI

People's party leader Natthaphong Ruengpanyawut affirmed the party's resolve to champion public interest issues and drive political change for a genuinely democratic system.
The Supreme Court accepted a case from the NACC accusing 44 former Move Forward members (including 10 People's party MPs) of ethical misconduct for endorsing a bill to amend the lèse majesté law (Section 112).
Natthaphong defended the Section 112 amendment endorsement as lawful, asserting no intent to undermine the monarchy, and reiterated the party's commitment to a democratic system with power checks and balances.
The party condemns "lawfare" used to perpetuate a political system favoring elites and plans to petition the Supreme Court to probe the NACC for alleged abuse of power, citing a double-standard in a recent high-profile case.
