webfact Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Five former core members of the now defunct People’s Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC) have lost their parliamentary status in a ruling by the Constitutional Court Wednesday. The five are Chumphol Julasai, an MP for Chumphon province, Isara Somchai, Democrat party-list MP, Thavorn Senniam, Democrat MP for Songkhla, Buddhipongse Punnakanta and Nataphol Teepsuwan, both party-list MPs of the Palang Pracharat party. According to the court’s ruling, the MPs lose their parliamentary status retroactively, as of April 7th, when the Criminal Court ordered them to stop functioning as legislators.

brianthainess Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Not being able to become an MP with a 'Thai' criminal record is the sole reason for Tu Tu to enforce sec 112 purely as political motive to stop any opposition to HIM. IMHO. As with his buddies next door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srikcir Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 3 hours ago, hotchilli said: The constitutional court, bought and paid for. Once PDRC leader Suthep passed his 2014 insurrection baton to NCPO Chief Prayut after PM Yinkluck refused Suthep to violate the Constitution by passing the government to the PDRC by means other than prescribed by the Constitution, it was the beginning of the "means to justify the end" - military overthrow. Prayut ceased to collaborate with the PDRC any further as ultimately signaled by Suthep and his PDRC cohorts arrest and conviction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
