BANGKOK: Thailand's Election Commission recommended on Wednesday that the Constitutional Court suspend prime minister frontrunner Pita Limjaroenrat over allegations that he broke campaign rules as an MP, just a day before a parliamentary vote for a new prime minister., as voters delivered a crushing rejection of the army-linked parties that ran the kingdom for nearly a decade.
"The EC will send a case to the Constitutional Court for ruling," a commission statement said on Wednesday. It is unclear when the Constitutional Court may rule, should it accept the case, although the body is due to meet on Wednesday.
