Culture Minister Nipit Intarasombat on Thursday said the Democrats' worries on their party dissolution case were lessened after reviewing the list of prosecution witnesses.
"I am relieved after seeing the names of witnesses," he said in his capacity as a member of the defence team to rebut charges related to the alleged mispending of the Bt29 million party fund.
There was no new development in the prosecution arguments and the witnesses had given their statements in the investigative stage, hence it can be anticipated on what they would say from the witness stand, he said.
The first batch of three witnesses to testify are expected to outline how they have heard about the alleged wrongdoing instead of having a first-hand evidence on the case, he said.
On Wednesday, the Constitution Court has scheduled August 9 to convene the first session to hear prosecution witness.
Three witnesses, comprising two case investigators - Corporal Tochakol Phromchan and Lt Colonel Worachai Arakrat, and Pheu Thai MP Kiart-udom Menasawat who filed a complaint against the Democrats, have been summoned to testify.
