Yongyuth resigns as PPP deputy leader to assume House Speaker

The resignation of Yongyuth Tiyapairat as People Power Party executive and deputy party leader would not affect the Election Commission's investigation into the allegation of electoral frauds against him, EC secretary-general Suthipol Thaweechaikan said on Monday



"If he founds guilty, the PPP can face dissolution as a result because it is regarded that the offence was committed when he held party executive post,'' he said.

Yongyuth resigned today to pave way for assuming House Sepaker post as Article 124 of the Constitution stipulates that House Speaker and deputies must not hold party executive posts.

The House is scheduled to elect a speaker and two deputies tomorrow.
