Pheu Thai asks Constitutional Court to drop petitions on election, govt status
By Digital Content



BANGKOK, March 12 -- Pheu Thai Party on Wednesday petitioned the Constitutional Court on Wednesday, asking the court to consider dropping three petitions related to the general election and the status of the caretaker government.

Singthong Buachum, a lawyer for the Pheu Thai Party, said he submitted the petition asking the Constitution Court to deliberate and reject three petitions filed by the Office of the Ombudsman, the Election Commission (EC) and Thaworn Senneam, a key anti-government protest leader.

The Office of the Ombudsman was seeking the court's ruling on the constitutionality of the February 2 general election.

The EC asked the court to rule on whether a new Royal Decree on election is needed for the poll in the 28 constituencies in eight southern provinces where there were no MP candidates.

The EC has also asked the court whether the election agency violated the Constitution by holding the general election after it failed to organise the election for all constituencies nationwide and could not announce the election result to get 95 per cent of overall MPs within 30 days for the opening of Parliament.

Mr Thaworn, a leading member of the People’s Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC) and former Democrat MP, was seeking the court's decision on the status of the caretaker government and whether the protesters' demand for a neutral prime minister was breaching the Constitution.

Mr Singthong said that the election could not be completed and Parliament could not open because protesters obstructed candidate registration procedures.

He also asked the Constitution Court to dissolve the Democrat Party and ban its executive members from politics for five years for allegedly helping the PDRC obstruct eligible voters from voting. (MCOT online news)

desperation by the ptp it would seem, what next, threaten to release all their home addresses and have grenades launched at their families houses by their faithfull lap dogs the reds as they have done before. They seriously expect the courts to stop doing what they are set up for, ruling on legalities simply because the ptp dont want them too, it is really getting too much, the ptp know their days are numbered so they are getting desperate. The news just gets better and better for Thailand and worse for the ptp/reds, things just could be any better unless box head was brought to justice which is a possibility under an honest pm.

<deleted> over. The court must follow the instruction from the lawyers representing Big Brother. Hes is the fearless leader.

[Rob8891]

Nothing new here. PTP don't like the chance of being wrong, so ask the CC to reject anything that could go against them. Same old, same old.

[siampolee]

Might this not be part of a soon to be launched campaign to have the ruling revoked on the two trillion loan bill so beloved by the owner of the P.T.P.?

Desperation is indeed now becoming the main factor in fact it's the only driving force that this the caretaker government now has under the remote control unit in Dubai.Thank heavens for incompetent advisers.

[Tatsujin]

Please your honor(s), will you stop being so horrible to us. We know we only listen to you when you say something we agree with, but just recently you've been ganging up on us a lot and we don't like it anymore. Our leader told us we could do anything we wanted while we ran (ruined) the country, and that if anyone tried to disagree we could simply threaten or bribe them like we usually do, but you don't seem to be letting us do that anymore. What did we do wrong? How can we get back to normal and continue helping (raping) the poor and downtrodden?

[kurtgruen]

Hmmm...have they already figured out who to pay off, since this recent decision against them, about the 2 Trillion? That is pretty much their only hope now, hoping that a few judges will take their big bribes.

Of course, nothing is impossibe, T.I.T.

[JesseFrank]

But we don't cling to power, we only are getting pretty desperate. Please let us stay in power for another 60 days, 10 May and the return of the amnesty bill is almost there, after that you can have it all.

[PepperMe]

WOW..... The PTP now are reduced to begging the courts not to accept cases that may end up not working out for them..... Probably because they know they are lost causes because they know full well what the rulings will be, and even without bias, the rulings would amount to exactly the same conclusion.

They now seem to have all but realized that they are sunk on so many levels and they are shit frightened about what is potentially about to follow.

They are fighting for their lives now.... Thaksin making outbursts against factions of his camp within LOS, as well as his own sister.

Chalerm making very strange noises and trying to think of a way out of the shit pile. (too late mate).

Yingluck crying like a baby as she realizes that all is lost.

Acceptance of such a negative chain of wrongdoings and their consequences are just a bitch...... aint they?

Life today is very good.

They say that music has the power to cheer people up..... so just for you.

Pheu Thai is now reduced to trying to get charges dismissed - except the ones they want to press themselves, of course.

[MunterHunter]

Please stop processing cases against us - jep maak loy!

Perhaps the next from is a request to officially sanction pt to rape the common wealth of all Thais without boundaries for a period of say 50 years.

On the other hand, with the negative ruling today about the 2 trillion loan they won't be able to use that avenue to find the 130Billion Baht to pay the poor unpaid farmers who they have treated like shxt, so perhaps this new move is really a ploy to keep some other somewhat hidden funds stream open?

I often wonder about the conscience of all pt members and politicians. They joined a Ponzi scheme and it fell over.

I thank god that my parents taught me to be honest and have values and morals.

If the petitions are correct and the PTP have illegal status, you must hold the view that the PTP are once again trying to circumvent the law to stay in power as a caretaker government, the court cannot just drop petitions just because that petition might be right, it could also be wrong, the court must act in the best interests of the good people of Thailand , not in the best interests of the PTP .
