webfact Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 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.
