Former senator Ruangkrai Leekijwattana on Monday petitioned the Election Commission to seek a Consitution Court ruling whether Democrat Party leader Abhisit Vejjajiva was still qualified to serve as an MP after the Defence Ministry retroactively dismissed him from military service.
Mr Ruangkrai said that as a result of the dismissal order, Mr Abhisit might have been disqualified as an MP under Sections 102 (6) and 106 (5) of the constitution.
On Mr Abhisit's petition to the Administrative Court against the Defence Ministry's order, the former senator said he believed the court did not have the jurisdiction to consider a matter concerning military disciplinary action.
