BANGKOK, Nov. 10 (Xinhua) — Thailand’s Election Commission (EC) on Tuesday has postponed its deliberation of an allegation that the Democrat Party has unlawfully obtained 258 million baht (7.74 million U.S. dollars) worth of donation from a Thai listed company.
The Democrat Party, which has led the current coalition government, is being investigated for allegedly having received the donation of 258 million baht from the listed firm, TPI Polene Plc.
The Election Commission has decided to defer the deliberation pending a testimony by TPI chairman Prachai Liewpairat.
Thailand’s charter has prohibited a political party from receiving donation of over 10 million baht (300,210 U.S. dollars) a year from an individual or a company.
One possible scenario, which might occur, is if the party is found of guilty, the Democrat Party might be dissolved.
