PPP getting concerned over ability to form government
It looks as if the PPP is now wooing other parties as the outcome of the election still seems uncertain. There are 65 PPP candidates which have yet to be approved by the Election Commission. Three PPP Candidates have been given Red Cards which means that they are disqualified from running in the by-election which will take place. Four more PPP candidates have been given a Yellow Card which as I understand it means there is a by-election in which they can stand. The outcome of all these outstanding elections and possible subsequent by-elections will be critical to the PPP’s chances of forming a government
Meanwhile the Democrat Party has lodged a case with the Supreme Court attempting to get all the PPP candidates in the election, which was held on 23rd December, ruled ineligible on the grounds that the PPP was not eligible to stand candidates in the election as it is a nominee of Thai Rak Thai the now disbanded party of former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra. Were the Democrat Party to win this case then I foresee a lot of trouble ahead.
