The Election Commission (EC) has warned the leader of the United Thai Nation Party (UTN), Pirapan Salirathavibhaga, over alleged comments made by a key party member about the monarchy.
The EC’s warning follows a campaign speech made by UTN’s chief adviser Trairong Suwannakhiri in Nakhon Ratchasima on Feb 25, where he is accused of making an improper reference to the monarchy.
The notice is a response to political activist Srisuwan Janya petitioning the EC to look into whether Mr Trairong violated such laws over his remarks about the institution of the monarchy.
