| Pheu Thai Cry Foul Over Bangkok By-Election |
| UPDATE : 26 July 2010 |
This Wednesday, the Pheu Thai Party will submit complaints to the Election Commission requesting they conduct probes into three voting irregularities that occurred during yesterday's Bangkok Constituency 6 by-election, which the party believes put its candidate at an unfair disadvantage.
Pheu Thai party spokesman, Phrompong Nopparit disclosed today that his party's legal team has compiled reports concerning three complaints and says they will be forwarding them to the Election Commission, or the EC.
The party believes the three irregularities it uncovered put its candidate, Kokaew Pikulthong, at an unfair disadvantage against the soon-to-be-announced winner, Democrat Panich Vikitsreth.
The Pheu Thai Party complained that Democrat Party leader's spokesman, Thepthai Senpong's made sarcastic remarks, saying that electing Kokaew would be the equivalent of appointing a terrorist.
They also point to comments aired on a radio program criticizing Kokaew which the party believes hurt his public image.
The party will also request that the EC investigate claims that a man dressed in a commando uniform intimidated residents of the Panya Ramintra Government Flat, stopping them from voting for Kokaew.
Phrompong will lead Pheu Thai's legal team to the EC on Wednesday morning to submit their complaints.
