On November 21 the Election Commission removed Sithichai from the Puea Pandin Party's list for Zone 4 on the grounds that he was a People Power Party member at the time he filed for candidacy.

Speaking after the hearing, Sithichai said he told the high court that documents showing his People Power membership were not authentic.

"My signature was falsified and on July 28, the date of membership application, I was away attending a funeral in Ubon Ratchathani," he said.

He said he suspected the People Power Party had registered his name without consent by claiming the list of members of the disbanded Thai Rak Thai Party as its own.
