Srisuwan" requested the Election Commission to examine candidates for Kanchanaburi MPs. PPP claims campaign for royal project Worried about Election Commission working late Politicians get their hearts, repeat the same mistakes.
Mr. Srisuwan Janya, secretary-general of the Association for the Protection of the Thai Constitution to submit a petition to the Election Commission of Thailand (ECT) to provide clues to investigate and decide on the case of the candidate MPs of the Palang Pracharat Party, District 1, Kanchanaburi, rallying for the campaign, citing the Royal Projects of King Rama IX and Rama 10 as violating Article 17 of the Election Commission's regulations. Regarding the campaign method and prohibited characteristics in the election campaign for members of the House of Representatives 2018 or not
Mr. Srisuwan said that on the evening of April 6, the past. Palang Pracharat Party opened a small speech stage at the courtyard next to the PTT gas station Area Moo 6, Huai Krachao, Huai Krachao District, Kanchanaburi Province, helping Kanchanaburi MP candidates Prad Palang Pracharat, District 1, District 2 and District 4, with party leaders and MP candidates joining the stage and joining many campaign speeches. During one of the speeches in front of a large number of people attending the speech, Mr. Jeerakiat Phumsawat, former governor of Kanchanaburi Kanchanaburi MP candidate Palang Pracharat Party, Region 1, gave a speech at one episode…”Gen. Prawit has done many projects to help take care of people's brothers and sisters. Whether it is a project under the initiative of His Majesty King Rama 9, His Majesty King Rama IX has a project to develop the Lam Ta Phoen River Basin. and built many reservoirs such as Kaproi Ang, Mae Takuat Ang, Mae Ta Khemeng, Huai Bum Rai Ang Including building various factions and floodgates, but that's not enough.”
Mr. Srisuwan said that Mr. Chirakiat also said that "The King Rama 10 Let's open a large groundwater supply project. There are only 15 locations in our country that have received this project. But the aforementioned project is in Kanchanaburi province to 3 places, 1 in Lao Khwan district and 2 in Huai Krachao district, which is an initiative in the concern of General Prawit Wongsuwan, former deputy prime minister. who have ordered all relevant government agencies to help take care of and explore, ”said the speech It draws the institute involved in campaigning. It may be considered a violation of Article 17 of the Election Commission's Regulations on Campaign and Procedures. Prohibited characteristics in the election of members of the House of Representatives 2018 or not, clearly defined “Prohibit candidates, political parties, or anyone who brings the monarchy in connection with election campaigns.”
When asked to reiterate that this case is the same as the Ruam Thai Sang Chart Party that had previously filed But the punishment is just a warning or not, Mr. Srisuwan said, depending on the requirements of the law. There may be punishment that is heavier than the warning. Because I understand that if I do it for the first time The Election Commission may send a letter to the party executive committee to supervise party members from committing illegal acts. Especially by pulling the institution to come to the polls
The rest is not long. Will the Election Commission consider the issue in time? which he tried to complain to in order to supervise the campaign of candidates of all political parties within the legal framework But the work of The Election Commission did not seem to be slow to catch up with the incident. And when candidates or political parties see that the ECT is running late, they may seize the opportunity to violate relevant regulations and laws. which is not a good result, may cause the election to be dishonest, fair and take advantage of political people
When asked to reiterate whether it was because of the previous punishment that was just a warning or not, Mr. Srisuwan said that it probably was. and not sure if it's supportive Or pat your face, cover your nose? In the event that someone who used to work at the ECT then joins a political party, especially a large party, will become an interaction. Or there is a connection between the ECT staff. Former ECT officials, including ECT executives, did not dare to take swords or apply strict laws. therefore becoming a favor or benefit to each other
“I have always tried to stress that these things are wrong. I would like voters across the country to take the case that I have brought up a complaint. and which party brought the institution to that vote Let the people who have the right to vote punish these politicians so that they will not continue to be examples, ”said Somchai.
