The Election Commission (EC) has been asked to seek the dissolution of the Pheu Thai Party for allegedly allowing ex-premier Thaksin Shinawatra to exert his influence over the main opposition party's 600-baht wage hike proposal.
In his petition, Srisuwan Janya, secretary-general of the Association for the Protection of the Thai Constitution, alleged Thaksin had spoken in defence of the proposed wage hike in a live session with the CARE, a breakaway faction consisting of politicians close to the ousted premier, on social media.
