EC all set to examine 'populist' policies

The Election Commission (EC) is scheduled to meet next week to review political parties' populism policies and determine if any of them are in breach of the election law, which can lead to a party dissolution.

EC chairman Ittiporn Boonpracong said 70 political parties contesting the May 14 general election had submitted details of their campaign policies as required by Section 57 of the organic law governing political parties.

He said if any of these policies violate Section 73(5), the EC can initiate a probe that can result in a party's dissolution.
