Ruangkrai Leekitwattana, a Palang Pracharath Party (PPRP) list-MP candidate, on Tuesday accused Pita Limjaroenrat, leader and prime ministerial candidate of the Move Forward Party (MFP), of holding shares in media company iTV Plc as of April 27 last year.

If the Election Commission concurs, Mr Pita should be disqualified from running from parliament as Section 98(3) of the constitution prohibits holders of a media company from contesting a general election, said Mr Ruangkrai.
