Election Commission Issues Red Card to Provincial Councilor 'Phu' from People's Party for Election Law Violation

The Election Commission of Khon Kaen has received documents from the Central Election Commission regarding an investigation into Phawat Chansaeng, a provincial administrative organization member from Mueang District, Khon Kaen, along with 6 others. They are accused of violating the 2019 Local Election Act, specifically for distributing shirts and hosting events. The Central Election Commission has decided to file a petition with the 4th Regional Appeals Court to potentially revoke Phawat's election rights and order a new election for the Khon Kaen Provincial Administrative Organization seat. The order also requires Phawat to cover election expenses and face potential criminal charges. The Election Commission will now send the decision to Phawat and the Appeals Court, with Phawat expected to immediately suspend his official duties upon the court's acceptance of the case.
