Ruangkrai asks Election Commission to check party leader status Ask questions from which Harvard?

Mr. Ruangkrai Leekitwattana, a candidate for MP and a member of the Palang Pracharat Party (PPRP), submitted a letter requesting the Election Commission or Election Commission to further investigate whether Mr. Pita Limcharoenrat progressive party leaderIs it in the scope of being expelled from party members and leaders of the far-reaching party according to the 2017 Act on Political Parties, Section 24? Due to the holding of media shares, ITV Public Company Limited, Mr. Ruangkrai stated that Mr. Phitha’s membership in the far-reaching party must adhere to Political Parties Act 2017, Section 24, states that party members must have qualifications. and has no prohibited characteristics As stipulated in Article 98 of the constitutional regulations, holding shares in any mass communication business

While Section 112 states that people who know they are unqualified or having prohibited characteristics from being the leader of the party party secretary, treasurer, and other members of the party’s executive committee but agreed to be appointed to hold such position shall be liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 3 years or a fine not exceeding 60,000 baht, or both. while political parties appoint person to hold the position under paragraph one knowing that the person has no qualifications or having prohibited characteristics shall be liable to a fine not exceeding 100,000 baht

However, in the regulations of the Progressive Party which is still in force while Mr. Phitha Show yourself as a member of the party. Article 12 states that members must not have prohibited characteristics. is a person who is prohibited from exercising the right to stand for election under the constitution as a member of the party

Article 21 stipulates that the termination of membership When lacking qualifications according to Article 11 or having prohibited characteristics according to Article 12, Article 37 said that the Executive Committee of the Party would terminate individually. Upon termination of membership Therefore, Article 12 (6) of the Progressive Party’s Articles of Association includes all subsections of prohibited characteristics under Article 98 of the Constitution, and in (3) stipulates that a person holding any media shares Is a person who is prohibited from applying. From the aforementioned incident, he had to appeal to the Election Commission of Thailand to further investigate whether Mr. Phitha would fall into the scope of expulsion from party members. and whether the party leader has advanced or not

In the event that the party has advanced appoint or consent to Mr. Pita held the position of party leader knowing or should have known that Mr. Phitha had prohibited characteristics in holding that position will fall under the threat of misconduct Political Parties Act 2017, Section 112, paragraph two? while other members of the party’s executive committee who recognize or support Mr. Phitha to remain a member and leader of the party will be subject to an offense under the relevant laws, such as Criminal Code Section 83 or Mata 86 as well?

While candidates for election are All MPs of the Progressive Party who consented or accepted Mr. Phitha to use his status as party leader to endorse him as a candidate for election MPs, both constituencies and list form Will there be an offense under the relevant laws or not? Therefore asked the Election Commission to investigate further on this matter.

Mr. Ruangkrai said that the reason he had not yet accused Mr. Phitha made a false statement to the Election Commission of Thailand because he did not have a party’s legal status. which is an issue The Election Commission has to make a decision first.

“The original ITV shareholding in 2006 was in the father’s name. before appearing as the name of Mr. Phitha in 2008 until now Which has gathered evidence to prepare to submit to the Election Commission of Thailand and found that the number of shares has moved because there is still a business operation The proportion of shareholders has changed. But Mr. Phitha’s shares are still the same. no change Therefore, when it is a request let the party go far And Mr. Phitha went to answer the allegations according to the procedure. The person who decides is the judicial process, which today I think has to go to the Constitutional Court. The same is true in the case of Thanathorn’s media holdings. Juangroongruangkit Whether or not he survives depends on Mr. Phitha’s case fight. and court decisions, ”said Mr. Ruangkrai.

When asked if Mr. Phitha had only 4.2 thousand shares, that was considered very small. Will it be effective or not? Mr. Ruangkrai said that people do not look at the provisions of the constitution and then bring other laws to explain. rationalize certain judgments I would like to question whether in the case of 5 former MPs and 3 ministers, only 1 day in jail, the case has not yet reached the end. Namely, Mr. Putthipong Punnakanta, Mr. Natthaphon Teepsuwan and Mr. Thavorn Senniam, the court decided to leave the position. Because he only spent 1 night in jail while waiting for bail. Therefore, the shareholding If conditions The court will have discretion on this matter. by interpreting the law written which he could not go beyond

“The trial and adjudication of the case The main court There is a method to consider, waiting for the result, which I may be wrong. Mr. Phitha might survive. If he survives, he might become prime minister. Become a minister as Mr. Phitha expects which I would like to see his role, his good policies, what to do with the budget Taking care of the budget of all government agencies Or statements about the above that have been stinging for 3-4 years, when it’s time to proceed? I would like to see the new generation as Prime Minister, but the Prime Minister must be dignified, transparent and verifiable. Even dreaming of becoming a secretary of the United Nations I asked Phitha to tell the people honestly, ”said Mr. Ruangkrai.

Mr. Ruangkrai also said that Someone greeted me from the United States, where Mr. Pita stated that he graduated from Harvard. university or Harvard Canada one of which is a university the other part is not It’s like some sort of school. Which he was informed by a Harvard alumnus 2-3 days ago because he was suspicious Therefore went to search in the model directory So I want to know what the facts are. want to say facts, no fakes, confirming that they are not prejudiced And in the past, he used to help Mr. Phitha. including people in the party In regards to auditing various budgets.
