Ex-Election Commissioner: Four Parties' Flood Donations Not Dissolution Risk
Former Election Commissioner Somchai Srisutthiyakorn stated that four political parties accepting flood relief donations through alternative accounts do not face dissolution risk. He praised the Democrat Party for using a foundation to ensure transparency, while warning that other parties using personal or special accounts must disclose details to avoid suspicion. Party dissolution would only apply if parties directly accepted known illegal funds.
