A dramatic turn in Thai politics emerged as lawyer Tiwa Karnkasang submitted a striking petition to the Election Commission (EC) on Wednesday. He pushed for the dissolution of the Pheu Thai Party and its coalition partners, hinging on an incendiary audio clip allegedly revealing misconduct by Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra.

 

The recording purportedly captures a conversation between Paetongtarn and Cambodian Senate President Hun Sen.

 

Tiwa claims the clip exposes actions threatening national security and breaching ethical standards. It mentions discussions on border strategies and suggests the PM favoured Cambodian interests, criticised her own military, and exchanged confidential details with a foreign leader.

 

These revelations, according to Tiwa, are a severe violation of expected governmental conduct.

 

Accusations focus on the Thai-Cambodian tensions, with recent military clashes over disputed territories being highlighted.

 

Tiwa argues Paetongtarn’s personal ties with the Cambodian regime may have undermined the national response and compromised state governance.

 

Further fuel was added by a public admission from the PM, acknowledging the clip's authenticity, purportedly reinforcing claims of misconduct.

 

Tiwa insists these actions not only undermine Thailand's military but also weaken its diplomatic stance, threatening sovereignty and constituting grave ethical breaches.

 

Additionally, Tiwa criticises the Pheu Thai Party’s executive committee for its silence and continued support of Paetongtarn, accusing them of antagonism towards democratic principles.

 

He also targets coalition parties like United Thai Nation and others, alleging support for political gains and Cabinet quotas over national interest.

 

The plea urges the EC to consult the Constitutional Court for the potential dissolution of involved parties and to revoke the electoral rights of their leaders.

 

The petition bases its arguments on Thailand’s Constitution, the Organic Act on Political Parties, and sections of the Penal Code.

 

Tiwa calls for urgent EC action, warning of dire national consequences similar to historic territorial losses, like the Preah Vihear Temple dispute, should the situation remain unchecked.
