Thai Election Commission says more MPs likely to be disqualified.
(From Thai Press Reports)
Section: Government & Politics - EC commissioner says more disqualifications likely after Parliament convenes, The Nation reports.
The Election Commission is still investigating serious election complaints that may see more than 10 MPs lose their seats.
"We will issue more red cards after Parliament convenes and the prime minister and president are chosen," EC secretary-general Ekkachai Warunprapha said yesterday when the last batch of 190 top vote-getters were endorsed, allowing Parliament to convene within 30 days of the poll.
A red card - or disqualification - is issued when there is 'convincing evidence' of election fraud.
If candidates are red-carded prior to official endorsement, they are banned from running again in the follow-up election and their parties cannot field a replacement.
After official endorsement, red-carded MPs are banned but their parties can select a new candidate.
