Natthaphong RuengpanyawutPeople's Party (PP) leader Natthaphong Ruengpanyawut remains unfazed as the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) prepares to submit a case against 44 former MPs to the Supreme Court over efforts to amend the lese majeste law. The submission is expected on Thursday, sparking speculation the court could order a temporary suspension of those involved. Of the 44 former MPs from the now-dissolved Move Forward Party, 10 are serving under the PP. If the court orders a suspension, the PP MPs would be unable to take part in the government policy debate scheduled for Thursday and Friday. If found guilty by the Supreme Court, the MPs could face a lifetime ban from politics and a temporary suspension of voting rights.
