(Bangkok Post file photo)The Future Forward Party (FFP) has submitted a petition to the Office of the Ombudsman asking whether it thinks the Election Commission's (EC) decision to award one party-list seat each to 11 small parties is constitutional. The EC announced the result of the March 24 general election last week with the FFP winning 80 House seats; 30 in constituencies and 50 from its party list. However, the party insisted the EC's calculation method was wrong and cost the party seven seats. The FFP secretary-general was accompanied by a group of seven FFP candidates who failed to win seats. Mr Chonsawat isn't qualified and he can't be a party member, so how could he be the chief of the party branch?"
