New Pheu Thai MP Thossaporn Serirak said he will push for passage of an amnesty bill at the earliest opportunity in parliament to absolve political offenders.
Speaking at the Election Commission (EC), where he received his MP endorsement papers on Tuesday, the Phrae MP said lawmakers should give the proposed amnesty top priority.
Dr Thossaporn, known for his active involvement in anti-government protests, drafted the proposed amnesty bill and said he plans to raise it at the first parliamentary meeting expected in the coming days as the certification of MPs by the Election Commission is underway.
