rooster59 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Thanathorn reconfirms legally transferred shares in media firm tewit kemtong BANGKOK, 26 April 2019(NNT)-Future Forward Party leader Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit has returned to Thailand from Europe where he had taken a study tour of several countries and says he is not worried about the Election Commission’s allegations filed against him over transferred shares in a media firm which, depending on the timing, might see him disqualified to contest the election. He reassured his supporters that his shares had been properly transferred under the required legal process. Upon his arrival at Suvarnabhumi airport, Mr. Thanathorn told reporters that he would take a look at the papers pertaining to the Election Commission’s allegations of the transfer of V-Luck Media Co.’s shares, which could otherwise have caused the disqualification of his electoral candidacy. He said that on Friday he would make an appointment with the Election Commission to clarify the situation in seven days as required by the polling agency. The Future Forward Party leader said he is not worried about it because he had legally transferred his shares in early January. Future Forward Party spokesperson, Phannikar Wanit earlier announced that Mr. Thanathorn would personally make a clarification to the Election Commission over the transfer of V-Luck Media Co.’s shares, in the afternoon of April 29 and said that he was not troubled by such allegations. Meanwhile, Thai Liberal Party leader Seriphisut Temiyavet said he was not worried about the political situation ahead of the announcement of the results of the election. He commented that pressure would be mounting on the Election Commission after the Constitutional Court had declined to pass a ruling on the formula it used in calculating the allocation of party-list MP seats. He aired his dissent to the Election Commission over its handing of an orange card to the winning candidate in Chiang Mai’s Constituency 8, only because he had made a donation to monks, and charged that the polling agency might well be trying to trim down the votes of an opposing side in connection with Mr. Thanathorn. -- © Copyright nnt 2019-04-27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oziex1 Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 I would suggest the strength of this man is to stand on the side lines giving informed commentary on their economic mismanagement. Not much but will bug them a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most Thai people have donated to Monks ???? the government promotes the practice-this can disqualify someone ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donutz Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Bangkok Post has a good article on the abuse and harassment versus the 'unwanted' FFP. No surprise that the law prohibiting media ownership hasn't been applied to the Phalang Pracharat party... https://www.bangkokpost.com/news/politics/1668132/media-share-minefield 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
