Candidates scratched

The Election Commission (EC) yesterday disqualified 10 constituency candidates, comprising seven from small parties, one Democrat and two from the Puea Pandin Party.

Published on November 24, 2007



Democrat Phatarabot Worawanpreecha was removed from the race for the direct vote in Nonthaburi's Constituency 1 on the grounds that he had been banned from the electoral process following his conviction for failing to file an asset statement when he was elected a provincial councillor.

The Puea Pandin Party had one candidate ejected from the Phrae race because of having duplicate party memberships. Its other candidate in Chiang Mai was removed for having lived in the constituency for less than five years.

The Thai Ruam Ruay Party saw three candidates removed from the race in Buri Ram, Phichit and Bangkok due to duplicate party memberships, one in Surin for being banned by a court order and another one in Samut Prakan for not having Thai citizenship.

One candidate of the Moral Party was removed for duplicate party memberships in Phetchaburi's constituency 1.

The Prachakorn Thai Party's candidate in Samut Prakan's constituency 2 was removed because of bankruptcy.

The Bangkok Election Commission is reviewing the credentials of 10 candidates in constituency 11 before deciding whether to remove them from the race.
