New MP to replace disqualified Thanathorn in seven days

New MP to replace disqualified Thanathorn in seven days

Following the Constitutional Court's ruling against Future Forward party leader Thanathorn Jungroongruangkit, disqualifying him as a member of parliament for holding shares in a media company, a new face will move up to replace him within seven days in parliament.

Manop Kiri-Phuwadol, the 51st party-list candidate of Future Forward party, will take the place of Thanathorn as a MP.
Manop, a member of a Karen hill-tribe community, is a key figure of a ethnic group in the north of Thailand which helps improve the livelihood of ethnic people through higher produce prices and finding plots for farming.
