The investigation of complaints against Bangkok governor-elect MR Sukhumbhand Paribatra is expected to be completed in 15 days, Pol Lt-Gen Taweesak Tuchinda said on Thursday.

The Election Commission on Wednesday decided by a vote of 3 to 1 to put off the endorsement of MR Sukhumbhand for 30 days, as proposed by the Bangkok election committee.

Pol Lt-Gen Taweesak, chairman of the Bangkok committee, said there were three complaints - two being investigated by his committee and the other by the EC.

For educated guys some of you don't have very good English comprehension skills but read into the words those you want to hear. "were filed by other election candidates" Plural - meaning more than one. It appeasers that more than one candidate has filed a complaint against the winner.

Remember PT's proposal not so long ago to make Bangkok's governor an appointed position rather than elected?

To be fair and responsible, BP please tell us the details of the mudslinging, so we can judge by ourselves whether the EC's verdict will be fair. Will you?

Before the election the red-shirts told us all they will “monitor” the elections and lots of people worried that the red-shirts would use their usual intimidation tactics to intimidate people.
The PT candidate lost so obviously the reds did not intimidate the voters enough. But was there any red intimidation at all?
If the DEMs would have lost I am sure there would be an investigation going on about this issue but now nobody is even asking the question if there was any red intimidation? Why not?
