The Election Commission has dismissed petitions asking that it examine whether the Pheu Thai Party's policy of a 10,000-baht digital handout to everyone aged 16 and over violates Section 73 of the law on the election of MPs.
The petitions were filed by Srisuwan Janya, secretary-general of the Association for the Protection of the Constitution, Ruangkrai Leekitwattana, a former election candidate of the Palang Pracharath Party, and Sonthiya Sawasdee, a former adviser to the House committee on law, justice and human rights.
