THE THAI SANG THAI today (March 21) pressed the Election Commission to speed up investigation into alleged misconduct of two of the opposition party’s renegade MPs and impeach them accordingly.
Thai Sang Thai leader Sudarat Keyurapan formally prompted the Election Commission to finish its probe sooner than later into the renegade MPs’ alleged breach of partisan discipline and resolutions, the code of ethics for politicians and the Political Party Act in a sustained effort to have the polling agency practically press them to resign as elected lawmakers, thus warranting subsequent by-elections.
The renegade Thai Sang Thai MPs, namely Supaporn Salabsri of Yasothorn and Adisak Kaewmungkhunsap of Udorn Thani, had allegedly breached the partisan rules of discipline and violated the partisan resolutions by casting yea votes for legislations and motions introduced at parliament by the Pheu Thai-led coalition government despite their current camp being currently part of the opposition bloc at parliament.
The couple of renegade lawmakers had been seen on several occasions rubbing elbows with Pheu Thai cabinet members and other leading partisan figures during government events in the provinces.
In addition to Supaporn and Adisek, a few other Thai Sang Thai MPs would probably be as well pressed by the opposition party to step down for alleged, similar misconduct of which the polling agency could possibly find them guilty and subject them to impeachment, according to the leader of the party currently consisting of six MPs.
The Thai Sang Thai executive board has apparently opted to not adopt a resolution to terminate the renegade MPs’ partisan membership because they would otherwise simply join the ruling Pheu Thai, given a 60-day period by law to switch parties upon being expelled from one.
The six Thai Sang Thai lawmakers, led by party secretary-general/MP Thakorn Tanthasit, were largely anticipated to skip over to the Pheu Thai under de facto party boss Thaksin Shinawatra only if they were ousted from Sudarat’s camp.
