Thai election agency to probe PM frontrunner Pita FMTNews FMTWorld
Pita Limjaroenrat’s bloc is seeking the backing of enough lawmakers to ensure his selection as premier.
A representative for the office of the election commission told Bloomberg News he couldn’t confirm reports of the probe. Criminal procedures usually involve many steps and can take months or years, and Pita could be confirmed as a member of parliament in the meantime when the election commission certifies election results by the July 13 deadline.
The original share ownership petition by political activist Ruangkrai Leekitwattana sought Pita’s disqualification for his alleged ownership of 42,000 shares in long-defunct ITV Pcl.
