EC needs 30 days to endorse vote

Published: 6 Mar 2013 at 17.52
Online news:

The Election Commission (EC) says it will need 30 days to officially endorse MR Sukhumbhand Paribatra as the winner of the Bangkok governor's election.

EC secretary-general Puchong Nutrawong said on Wednesday the EC had to provide time, and then to accept and investigate any complaints or allegations concerning election law offences.

The agency is currently probing three alleged violations of section 57 of the Local Election Act. One of the complaints involves a candidate who many have posted an online attack that a rival was involved in the red shirts' arson attacks in the 2010 political violence.

Well that should give the PTP enough time to find hundreds of election violations committed by the Democrats and to file 89 lawsuits to void, annul, overturn or declare the election invalid while they figure out how to take over the only area in Thailand they don't control. Meanwhile that's 30 days we have no Governor nor can any progress be made on the problems that beset this city. So that's working seamlessly, huh???

30 days is going to be tough to dream up a scheme as big as the rice deal to undermine the winner. Dubai must be on the war path since his light pole didn't cut the mustard.

Just pass the endorsement quickly and pacify the dems. This is the only glimpse of hope the party came across after the 2011 general election.
