"The planned consultation with the EC is expected to clarify the extent banned party executives can get involved in electioneering," party executive and legal adviser Noppadon Patama said yesterday.
Questions include whether Thaksin can pose with candidates in campaign pictures.
If Thaksin gets the green light, the party will also name other debarred Thai Rak Thai executives, such as Chaturon Chaisang, Phrommin Lertsuridej and Phumtham Wechayachai, as advisers, he added.
