The opposition Move Forward party has decided to expel one of its MPs, Wutthipong Thonglao, an MP for Prachin Buri, after he was found to have committed an act of sexual harassment by the party’s disciplinary board, according to party leader Chaithawat Tulathon.

 

But the party decided to place another MP on probation. Chaiyamparwaan Manpianjit, a Bangkok MP, was also found to have committed sexual harassment by the disciplinary committee.

 

Citing the party’s charter, which requires three-fourths of the votes of the party’s executive committee and all MPs to expel a member, Chaithawat said that only 128 were present at the meeting last night and only 106 of them voted for the Bangkok MP’s expulsion, which is short of the three-fourths of the votes all members of the executive committee and MPs.
