Academic seeks Election Commission probe, People's Party's demiseAn independent academic on Tuesday petitioned the Election Commission (EC) to seek the dissolution of the People's Party (PP) over its alleged links with media-related firm Spectre C.The firm, which is located in the same building as the PP headquarters, came under the spotlight when former PP member Tisana Choonhavan revealed it carried out "intelligence operations" as part of political activities for the PP. The charter bars political parties or their members from involvement in media or press organisations. Thankawin Ratthawatankul said his petition was based on information identifying Spectre C as a company engaged in publishing, distribution, and online content. He added that the PP had not denied the allegation, which he argued could indicate acceptance of external control. Last week, activist Srisuwan Janya also asked the EC to seek the dissolution of the PP for being involved with media or press organisations.
