The three new MPs endorsed by the Election Commission on Tuesday: (from left) Watanya Wongopas, party-list MP of Palang Pracharath; Srinuan Boonlue, Chiang Mai MP, Future Forward; and Jitpas Kridakorn, party-list MP of Democrat. The Election Commission (EC) has endorsed three new MPs, all women, bringing the total number of approved MPs to a full 500. The votes for her and candidates of other parties led to a slight re-allocation of party-list MPs based on the EC’s claculation method. In addition to FFP, the pro-regime Palang Pracharath and Democrat parties get were allocated one list MP each. Sawaeng Boonmee, deputy secretary-general of the Election Commission, said the EC was not the one who allocated MPs to each party and the calculation method came from the MP laws, not any formula the EC designed by itself.
