Chalerm warns EC to organise election or face jail term

BANGKOK: -- Former labour minister Chalerm Yoobamrung Friday warned the Election Commission to speed up preparations for holding the next election or face a jail term.

Chalerm said the government did not have to consult the EC on the election holding and should leave it to the EC to handle it.

"If the EC refuses to hold the new election, the EC members will violate the laws and will face jail term," Chalerm said.

This so called government (CAPO) is way beyond reality at this point.

Khun Chalerm could save everyone a lot of trouble. He should just appoint a new Prime Minister himself, then organise elections before anyone gets up, except in Isaan. Say around 4 am- ish.

He's usually drunk on Merlot, but at the moment it seems he's drunk on power. Wonderful stuff.

Chalerm delusions of grandeur are indeed on a par with the Marx brothers act.

Chalerm and true democracy at it's finest.

He has no real power... It's the wine speaking.

Chalerm & CAPO = Criminals Assisting Political Outlaws

More threats and more intimidation if you don't toe the Thaksin line . . . disgusting attitudes from "the Govt" mouthpiece . . .

Whatever did Thaksin see in this man ? Yes - he's a heavy - but can he think ? He's done far more harm then help to Thaksin's cause. He does it through blinding stupidity. He does it through outlandish threats. This statement - from the man who is convinced the Constitutional Court got it all wrong - doesn't merit analysis. It's just nuts.

Didnt he get the letter yet saying he has been terminated as head of CAPO. All the other minsters bowed out that day semi-gracefully be Chalerm is ignoring the Court rulings against him.

BTW! How does he know the CC doesnt need to talk with the Gov prior to scheduling. He doesnt even know his own job yet can quote others jobs and then threaten them?

If the EC does hold elections and they are voided again then Chalerm alone should fork out the expense to pay for it.

Chalerm said last week that governors in Thailand will never be elected. Viva red democracy.

This guy is way out of line and its time for him to be shut down..... maybe a good job for him would be as assistant to the toilet cleaner so he can learn a real job.

Chalerm and true democracy at it's finest.

Exactly, how dare he call on the EC to organize elections. They are far too busy doing--- what is their job again?

Chalerm is firm favourite for this years Cadbury Fruit and Nutcase award.

Even better, if he'd kept his promise last year.

With reading your reply-I just forgot what Chalerms official job is----he was appointed ?? he managed to win it in a game of musical chairs, easy when most of PTP guys are OVERSEAS.

does this clown ever stop showing he's one of biggest buffoons ever

I'm almost embarrassed for him

he needs to be put to sleep as a mercy

I wonder when will he recognizes no one cares about what he wants or says

The Court Jester is at It again.

Thaksin owes this dolt a lot......Much money had been made when Chalerm held a major portfolio......

Anyway....all this waffling on is done under instructions....this guy can't put together a legible sentence any more...

Chalerm and true democracy at it's finest.

some say Suthep has lost his marbles, I think Charlerm had some installed when they found his head was empty

This man is an embarrassment to all Thai people - he makes these statements under what authority ? he was sacked 10 days ago

Simply astounding

Even a Marvel movie scriptwriter could not dream up such a wicked fiend.

i just love this guy....hes fantastico..encore sir...

Try some of my ear medicine...its good really!!!!!

Whatever did Thaksin see in this man ? Yes - he's a heavy - but can he think ?

He's not paid to think...just to carry out His Master's Orders

can we please have a live feed from inside the CAPO meeting room - that would be top viewing right there

Chalerm bears some resemblance to Barney Rubble.

Chalerm gets a headline so Tarit gets a headline so ... !

See I can be more stupid than you.

I think Chalerm can go to HeII.

EC can do what they want, as they are an independent body created by the constitution.
