EC turns down Paiboon’s bid to form party

By The Nation

 

 

People’s Reform Party founder Paiboon Nititawan said yesterday that his proposal to register his party with the Election Commission was rejected by the EC officials, citing the junta’s political ban.

 

Paiboon held a press conference to explain the situation, but said he would try to register his party with the EC again once the ban is lifted.

 

The junta had placed the ban shortly after the coup, resulting in all political-related activities, including party meetings, being prohibited. A call to lift the ban is growing as time draws nearer for the election scheduled for late next year.

 

The EC, meanwhile, issued an announcement in regard to party registration, but later learned it could not take any proposals because of the ban.

 

Paiboon said his party was ready to engage in politics, as it has 117 founder members around the country and they were ready to proceed with political activities once allowed.

The party is also ready to send candidates in a primary vote, as well as MP candidates, Paiboon added.

 

Paiboon said one of the party’s key policies is to support Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha to be the premier again while calling for reform to empower the people as well as a sound checks and balances system.

Silly Paiboon thinking organic laws allowing party registration meant anything in the face of the junta's mandated delay. Perhaps he thought he had a special relationship with the junta as a former member of the now-defunct National Reform Council; the initial members of the National Reform Committee had been appointed by the NCPO. https://ilaw.or.th/node/4647

He deserves the double cross.

It may also have been carefully planed 8n order to pretend that the Junta is unbiased...

Paiboon Nititawan, who is one of the military appointed senators, exposed himself clearly that he opposes democracy. He said, “I hate elections, I am disgusted by elections”.

 

After what he said, this disgusting individual is forming a political party to compete in the next election. Puke time. 

Wouldn’t be surprised that Paiboon’s PDRC colleague Suthep will soon announce that he will return to politic to answer callings from his millions of followers. Cockroaches are crawling out of the sewers.

He might have a difficult job raising followers with rubber prices being so low. 

It's all such a freshly laid steaming crock of @$&%.
