Flyers 'signed by Thaksin' promise Bt1,000 per vote
Residents of this northeastern province have found flyers left in public places that were "signed" by former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra and promise Bt1,000 per vote for the People Power Party (PPP).
Published on December 22, 2007
The party described the "falsified" leaflets as a dirty trick aimed at discrediting the party.
"We know what political party is behind this smear campaign. We have filed a police complaint and will refer this matter to the local election office," said Chusak Sirinil, chief of the PPP's legal team.
The flyers were in the form of a personal letter from Thaksin to constituents in the Northeast, thanking them for their support in installing a PPP government.
They indicated that Thaksin had sent funds for distribution to voters via PPP canvassers, and that he pledged to return to run the country following the party's victory.
