Thai Rum Ruay Party leader detained
Thai Rum Ruay Party leader Pathom Ansakul remains in the race as a partylist candidate for Zone 6 even though he has been detained on suspicion of defrauding the public, Election Commission member Somchai Juengprasert said on Wednesday.
"Pathom is presumed innocent with qualifications intact to continue his campaigning until proven guilty," Somchai said.
The Department of Special Investigation took Pathom into custody on Tuesday for questioning about his involvement in a pyramid scheme.
Pathom reportedly ran his scheme out of his party's headquarters located on Sri Nagarindra Road, Bang Kapi district.
His party has fielded 386 partylists and constituency candidates for the December 23 election. His Zone 6 covers Bangkok, Nonthaburi and Samut Prakan.
