It remains unknown when Mr Thanathorn will be able to wear his after the court's ruling on Thursday. The EC also asked the court to suspend him from duty until the court has a ruling. Earlier, the Election Commission accused Mr Thanathorn of still owning a media company when he applied to become an MP, a prohibition under the MP law and the constitution. Mr Thanathorn claimed he had sold the shares to his mother on Jan 8 this year for 6.75 million baht. Mr Thanathorn said that under the Civil Code (Section 1129), a share transfer takes effect when it is made in writing and before witnesses.
