The Election Commission (EC) surprised everyone by dropping three complaints against Move Forward Party (MFP) leader and prime ministerial candidate Pita Limjaroenrat and announcing that it will investigate Mr Pita for a different alleged violation.
The commission said it will be looking into whether Mr Pita applied to be a list-MP candidate despite knowing he may not be eligible to run for a House seat -- a violation of sections 42(3) and 151 of the organic law on the election of MPs.
