Constitution Court disqualifies Jatuporn
Play
The Constitution Court Friday disqualified Jatuporn Promphan as a Pheu Thai MP.
The Constitution Court judges voted 7:1 to disqualify Jatuporn on ground that he was not qualified to apply as an election candidate.
The court reason that the Political Parties Act prohibited anyone, who cannot cast vote, to become a member of a political party.
Since Jatuporn was detained from May 12 and was released and August 2, he could not cast vote so he was not qualified to become a member of the Pheu Thai.
Since he could not become a Pheu Thai member, his election candidacy was invalid, and thus his election victory was also invalidated.
