EC explains that the investigation into the dissolution of Pheu Thai and the original 6 coalition parties followed legal procedures, filtered information and evidence first. Found that there was evidence, so ordered the establishment of an investigation committee. Reporters reported that following Mr. Saeng Boonmee, Secretary-General of the Election Commission, as the registrar of political parties, ordering the establishment of an investigation committee to investigate the facts in the case where someone filed a petition requesting the EC to consider dissolving the Pheu Thai Party and 6 former coalition parties due to the fact that Mr. Thaksin Shinawatra, a former prime minister who is not a party member, acted to influence and lead, and the 6 political parties agreed to allow Mr. Thaksin to influence and lead, and it was seen that the petition had grounds, it was further reported that in such cases, when a petition was submitted for the EC to investigate, the office and the EC must proceed according to the procedures. In this case, before the registrar of political parties issued an order to set up an investigation committee, the relevant committees were assigned to investigate and filter the details and information first. After the investigation, it was found that the petition had sufficient grounds, so an investigation committee was ordered to investigate the facts, not to set up a committee to investigate without examining the source or documents of the petition. The Election Commission and its office will proceed with the consideration in accordance with all relevant regulations and laws. However, the process after this, the investigation committee will have to examine documents, evidence, witnesses, and may have to invite the petitioner and the accused to clarify the facts. This must be completed within 30 days. However, if the information, witness documents, and evidence are not complete enough to summarize the opinion of the case to present to the registrar, an extension of the period can be filed again , not exceeding 30 days each time, until the consideration is complete.
