Highlights of the week: EC vetting process to continue

This week (January 7-13, 2008) the Election Commission will continue to endorse or nullify poll results.



Throughout this week, endorsed candidates can pick up documentation from the commission and report to Parliament.

The commission is scheduled to endorse at least six winning candidates today.

Tomorrow, it will question People Power Party deputy leader Yongyuth Tiyapairat over allegations of electoral fraud. 

Prachai to be questioned

Tomorrow, the commission will question Matchima Thipataya leader Prachai Leophairatana.

The party's secretary-general Anongwan Thepsuthin is scheduled to attend the commission on Wednesday over the same matter.

Supreme Court to hear case

The Supreme Court Election Division is scheduled to begin hearing an action brought by New Aspiration Party spokesman Sarawut Thongpen.

The party-list member will argue that the Election Commission was not entitled to hold advance balloting on December 15 and 16. He is asking the court to nullify the results of the early voting.

Three by-elections

Sunday sees by-elections in three Nakhon Ratchasima seats, after the successful People Power candidates were handed yellow cards.

Separately, nominations for sector seats in the Senate are open until January 17.
