Court rejects petition on ThamanatThe Constitutional Court has rejected a petition asking it to rule on the eligibility of Thamanat Prompow holding a seat in parliament due to his wife's business dealings with The Port Authority of Thailand (PAT). Mr Thamanat is the Palang Pracharath MP for Phayao province. Therefore, there is no reason for Mr Thamanat to lose his status as an MP. Before the court can decide whether to accept the petition for consideration, it must take into account the legality of the petition submission process and the reasons given in the petition, it said. The court dismissed the MPs' petition.
