Thailand’s Election Commission (EC) has been asked to consider easing restrictions on the distribution of relief materials by political parties during the current widespread flooding.

 

Pheu Thai MP for Ubon Ratchathani, Somkid Chueakong, told Thai PBS that he would like the EC to reconsider some of the restrictions imposed on parties, party members, election candidates and political office holders during the 180-days before the end of the House’s 4-year term on March 23rd.

 

He cited, in particular, the prohibition on providing financial assistance or relief materials to people affected by natural disasters, such as flood victims.

Some wiggle room...

sure donations can be made in clear plastic bags, with zero advertising, no photo op's of candidates.

Parcels can be collected via local charity organisations who will distribute the items.

It will only apply to the opposition parties. The PPRP, BJT, the minnow parties and the Democrats (perhaps), will have the Nelson telescope applied.
