Bangkok – Future Forward Party leader Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit and party secretary general Piyabutr Saengkanokkul visited the Election Commission headquarters Wednesday to clarify the controversy over the transfer of Thanathorn’s shares of V-Luck Media Co.
Thanathorn told reporters that he was not worried about the allegations and was personally confident of his innocence. He said he was also confident that the electoral triumphs of every winning candidate of his party would be verified by the Election Commission.
The Future Forward Party leader said he returned from Buriram province to Bangkok on January 8 to transfer his shares of the media firm and produced many pictures of policemen providing him with an escort along the way.
Meanwhile, Piyabutr called on the Election Commission to hold another by-election in Nakhon Pathom’s Constituency 1 due to controversial votes count. He said it was not that his party had declined to concede defeat and that there was no conflict between Future Forward Party and Democrat Party whose candidate was vying against his. He said the counting of votes might not only be questionable in that constituency but others as well.
The Future Forward Party secretary general added that there is only one legal formula for the counting of party-list MP seats and charged that the Election Commission Office had confused it with two others which are by no means endorsed by the constitution or the organic law on the election of MPs.
