    • Chris-TH commented : 03]Suthep might not run in by-election By: BangkokPost.com Published: 30/06/2009 at 12:27 PM Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thaugsuban said on Tuesday he might not stand for re-election in his home constituency in Surat Thani province if the Election Commission disqualifies him as an MP for holding shares in companies which have a concession from the state. Mr Suthep said he was getting older and there were many ways he could continue his political activities without having to contest a by-election. If he were disqualified he could continue to hold the position of deputy prime minister, which does not have to be filled by an elected MP. He had no plans to get out of politics.[/color:2r54px03] So Suthep will continue as a Minister of he is disqualified as an MP??? Well, look at this subject and Section 100 (3) (not to mention 251) in the Act. A violation of the Anti Corruption Act causes removal from office and a possible jail sentence of up to 3 years!! Or did the scope of the Act change after it was sucessfully used in the Ratchada case? Where did the "Moral and Ethics" go???? Just asking!!!!!!

The implication is that if he wants to he can ignore an EC ruling.
