Democrats ready to be scrutinised on qualifications: Abhisit

"MPs concerned will cooperate with the inquiry by Election Commission. They have nothing to hide as this is a game," Abhisit said.

The PPP has accused the 27 Democrats, including party secretary general Suthep Thugsuban, of violating a ban for holding shares in companies with state concessions and broadcasting operations.

Abhisit said the truth will come out that his party's MPs do not possess shares in the manner prescribed by the ban but engage in the trading of listed-stocks through brokers and investment funds.

Suthep said the PPP's mud-slinging at the Democrats was designed to project the flawed constitutional provisions, hence paving way for charter amendments.
