People’s Party seeks probe into leaked ‘Help the Blue’ LINE chat

13 Sept 13:32 Key points summarised by AI

The People’s Party demands an investigation into a leaked LINE chat message, “Please help the Blue,” which allegedly sought support for the Bhumjaithai Party during the January election campaign.
The message was purportedly exchanged between Provincial Administration Department (PAD) director-general Narucha Kosacivilize and Phuket assistant governor Roongruang Thimabutr.
The opposition party asserts this constitutes an abuse of power and a violation of the Election Act, questioning the PAD chief's denial of involvement.
Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul, leader of the Bhumjaithai Party, has committed to forming a panel to investigate the controversy.
