EC extends probe deadline

The Election Commission (EC) has extended the deadline for the completion of an inquiry into a vote-buying case in Nakhon Ratchasima till next Monday, EC chairman Apichart Sukhagganond said yesterday.

"The EC deems it necessary to collect additional evidence to determine the money routing."

Key issues included how canvasser Tee Sae Lek got hold of Bt10,700 in cash and if the funds, in varying bank notes stapled to campaign leaflets introducing People Power candidates, were earmarked to buy votes, he said.

The EC was scheduled to review the investigative report next Tuesday, he said, adding it might need more than one session to finalise its decision on whether to issue "a red or yellow card".

Meanwhile, EC officials were monitoring an unusual surge in money orders at postal offices in Chiang Mai.
