37 partylisted candidates kicked out of the race

The Election Commission disqualified on Wednesday 37 partylist candidates fielded by 16 parties to compete for proportionate votes in eight zones nationwide.



The disqualified candidates are entitled to appeal to the Supreme Court within seven days in order to overturn the EC's ruling.

Ruam Jai Thai Chart Pattana saw its six candidates removed, followed by Matchima Thipataya (three) and Puea Pandin (two). People Power and Pracharaj parties had one candidate disqualified each.

Of the 37 candidates, 33 were disqualified because they were members of more than one party. One was ejected from the race because of registering on two party lists. Two were removed on grounds that they joined the races for direct and proportionate votings. And one did not have the address in the zone to qualify for the race.
