webfact Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 The MP-elect resignation of Nateepat Kulsetthasith, a 46 year old Move Forward Party list member, confirmed that she will resign following her involvement in a drink-driving charge last month. However, she must first complete the required electoral procedures. On Monday, the Election Commission (EC) endorsed all 500 MPs elected, and Nateepat appeared in the Office of the Secretariat of the House of Representatives board to introduce new MPs. Nateepat announced her resignation as a candidate MP on May 16, just two days after the general election, following her arrest for drink-driving earlier in the day. She publicly apologised and expressed regret for her actions. Today, Nateepat said that she would not go back on her commitment to take responsibility for her actions, confirming that she would not change her mind regarding her MP-elect resignation and step down. by Mitch Connor Photo courtesy of Bangkok Post Full story: https://thethaiger.com/hot-news/politics/move-forward-party-mp-elect-resigns-over-drink-driving-charge-2 -- © Copyright Thaiger 2023-06-22 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

Lucky Bones Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 Righto. The EC considers it harder to get out of a MP position rather than get in. Got it now.???????? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least she has some morals after making a mistake... Staying on might have given ammunition to the media to further their cause in bad press for the MFP. 7 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khunjeff Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Drunk driving is just outrageous behavior. If she stuck to the approved activities of MPs, like heroin trafficking, rape, and murder, she would be good to go. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOP is to deny & 'soldier' on. Would a Thai male (in any walk of life) have done this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
