Democrat MP Theptai Seanapong suspended from parliamentary duty

 

 

Thailand’s Constitutional Court has suspended Democrat MP Theptai Seanapong from performing his duty as an MP, pending its ruling on his parliamentary status.

 

The Nakhon Si Thammarat MP, and his younger brother Manote, were sentenced to two years in prison without suspension by the provincial court after being found guilty of vote buying, ahead of the mayoral election in Nakhon Si Thammarat Provincial Administration Organization in 2014.

 

The court also revoked Theptai’s voting rights, which means that he will be barred from politics for ten years, if the verdict is upheld by a higher court.

Vote buying different to vote rigging no doubt with the later no conviction or jail time

We have a government made up of convicted dug smugglers, cheats on exams, insulting xenophobes, money launders etc.

Why worry about this?
