The Bangkok election committee has forwarded two petitions against MR Sukhumbhand Paribatra, the Bangkok governor-elect, along with recommendations to the Election Commission, and the public can expect big headlines when the story breaks, panel chairman Pol Lt-Gen Taweesak Tuchinda said on Thursday.
Pol Lt-Gen Taweesak said he had forwarded the two petitions to the main election body for a final decision.
The petitions were accompanied by the Bangkok election committee's recommendations which could not be disclosed, he said, adding that he had never said MR Sukhumbhand would be issued a yellow card.
He declined to reveal what the petitions were about. He said only that the Bangkok committee would hold a major press conference on Wednesday, March 20, when the people concerned would be invited to give details of the petitions.
"I would like reporters to turn up in large numbers on Wednesday. There will certainly be some big news, but I cannot yet tell what it will be," Pol Lt-Gen Taweesak said.
Pol Lt-Gen Taweesak also said the Bangkok committee Thursday held a meeting to consider two new petitions, but had not reached any conclusion pending further investigation.
