EC calls Yongyuth
People Power Party deputy leader Yongyuth Tiyapairat has been called to give evidence before the Election Commission in relation to suspected vote buying, according to secretary- general Suthiphon Thaveechaiygarn.
Published on December 31, 2007
If Yongyuth cannot testify next Tuesday, the commission will have to make a decision without his input.
Yongyuth is currently in Hong Kong with ex-PM Thaksin Shinawatra. His summons was dated December 26. His lawyer sought a postponement.
Yongyuth is allegedly involved in buying votes in Chiang Rai, where his younger sister La-ong contested a seat. His involvement could have repercussions for the party, as a result of his executive position. It could be dissolved if a guilty decision is made.
