[snoop1130]

 

Bangkok Governor Chadchart Sittipunt has ordered an election candidate of the United Thai Nation (UTN) party to stop the laser beam campaign imaging on the Rama VIII Bridge, following many comments on social media about the suitability and legality of such campaign methods.

 

He also offered an apology over a misunderstanding that the city administration had allowed the use of the bridge for political campaigning.

 

Meanwhile, former election commissioner Somchai Srisutthiyakorn has urged the Election Commission (EC) to stop the United Thai Nation (UTN) party, or any other party, from using the Rama VIII Bridge for the projection of campaign material, claiming that it is against the election law.

The UNG party, meanwhile, distanced itself from the issue, claiming that it was Tipanan’s idea and that she had acted on her own, without discussing it with or obtaining permission from the party.

 

She's being thrown under the bus.
