House panel seeks answers about ‘help the blue’ chats

An opposition MP has urged the chief of the Department of Provincial Administration to testify before a House panel and clarify allegations the agency is linked to so-called "blue network" politics.

Pakhamon Nunanant,a People’s Party MP and chair of the House committee on Political Development, Mass Communications and Public Participation, called on Narucha Khosasivilai to appear before the committee to explain allegations of political interference during a recent election campaign.

The call follows claims by Roongruang Thimabut, a former Phuket assistant governor, who disclosed a Line chat message allegedly sent by Mr Narucha during the election period.
