Sira loses MP seat
The Constitutional Court ruled that Palang Pracharath Party Bangkok MP Sira Jenjaka is disqualified to run for the House of Representatives.
As a result, he was removed from his House seat because he had been sentenced by the Pathumwan District Court on offences relating to property (fraud) in 1995.
The verdict came after Seri Ruam Thai Party leader, Pol General Sereepisuth Temiyavet, together with a group of 145 members of the House of Representatives, asked the Constitutional Court to determine the qualification of the member since he had been sentenced by the district court.
