EC poised to opt for complete endorsement of 480 House seats

The Election Commission is likely to endorse all of 480 House seats to pave way for the opening of Parliament on Monday, EC member Prapun Naigowit said on Friday, hours before a final debate on the issue in the afternoon.



"The complete endorsement of balloting results will not impact on ongoing probes of electoral fraud and MPs involved would be prosecuted in the Supreme Court upon completion of each case," he said.

There are 22 cases which would not be completed within the 30day deadline, he said.

He also stated that the Sureme Court ruling scheduled for later in the afternoon to determine whether the People Power Party is a nominee would not impact on the electoral review by the EC.
