A FACT-FINDING COMMITTEE under care of the Election Commission is continuing to investigate allegations that the Pheu Thai had breached the Political Party Act despite the Constitutional Court’s latest judgment to lift rule-undermining charges against the ruling party, according to a senior official of the polling agency.
Election Commission Secretary-General Sawaeng Boonmee confirmed over the weekend that the ad hoc committee of the polling agency is definitely proceeding to look into the allegations that the Pheu Thai had purposely violated the law since the largest ruling party had been unlawfully, practically influenced by billionaire power player/de facto Pheu Thai boss Thaksin Shinawatra, given the fact that his youngest daughter is not only the leader of the party but an elected prime minister.
Sawaeng pointed out that the Constitutional Court had only handled allegations earlier filed to no avail by an activist lawyer that the de facto Pheu Thai boss and the largest ruling party had taken liberty to perpetrate illegal acts to undermine rule with the monarch as head of state whilst the fact-finding committee will continue to compile evidence and submit results of the probe to the Election Commission which will primarily deliberate as to whether Pheu Thai may have violated the Political Party Act by doing so as earlier charged and then lifted by court.
It remains to be seen whether the Constitutional Court will accept a lawsuit which may be filed by the Election Commission against the Pheu Thai in regard to the alleged breach to the specified law pertaining to political parties, according to the polling agency’s secretary-general.
He concluded that one litigious agency may apply a different rule of law from another though both may share the same content of allegations against the accused party.
