Ramkhamhaeng Student Union distances itself from PTV

The Ramkhamhaeng University Student Union has distanced itself from a PTV rally scheduled for Thursday coinciding with the verdicts on two electoral fraud cases.

"PTV organiser Jatuporn Phromphan has claimed to mobilise up to 1,000 Ramkamhaeng students to join his planned protest; this is impossible as he has no more than 200 students loyal to him," student union chairman Sikkhanan Nulek said Monday.

Sikkhanan said the majority of student population lost trust in Jatuporn after realising that he was using his status as a university alumnus to advance his political agenda. Jatuporn is seen as close to ousted premier Thaksin Shinawatra.
