webfact Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Waipote stripped of MP status, faces arrest to serve time in prison Palang Pracharat MP for Kamphaeng Phet province Pol Lt-Gen Waipote Arpornrat has lost his Member of Parliament (MP) status after the Supreme Court upheld the 4 year prison sentence handed down by the Appeals Court for his involvement in the disruption of the ASEAN Summit in Pattaya in 2009. As the Supreme Court is the final arbiter in the case, Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngarm said that Pol Lt-Col Waipote immediately loses his parliamentary membership and is not protected by parliamentary immunity. 12 former leaders of the United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship, including Waipote, were sentenced to 4 years in prison for their roles in leading hundreds of red-shirt protesters in the storming of the Royal Cliff Beach Resort in Pattaya, where the ASEAN meeting was being held, resulting to the abrupt cancellation of the summit and evacuation of all ASEAN leaders.

Lungstib Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 My word, you've got a job to keep up with these things. We've got a politician being sent down for 4 years. A law maker who turned law breaker. A former red-shirt, an MP and a Pol Lt-General, who couldn't see what was wrong in closing down an ASEAN meeting, and amazingly then recruited by the military in civilian disguise PPRP who now has to wave him goodbye. All morals and ethics out the window with these guys, every man for his bank balance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PPRP won by a landslide there with nearly double the votes of PTP in 2019. Think the most likely outcome is another win, but a low turnout might affect the number of votes the micro parties get and their party listings.

Pol Gen Waiphote was the incumbent since TRT days. This by-election will be a bellwether test on PPRP support now that Waiphote is not able to contest.

What's interesting Eric, is that this again demonstrates that people vote for a person rather than a party. Which is one reason why people feel safe changing parties whenever it suits them. Hierarchical patronages with clan like loyalties. One does wonder what police rank the gentleman was holding when he turned Red Shirt law breaker?

PTP has conceded before the election that they will lose Kampong Phet because of the populist policies like welfare card and the 3 years moratorium on loans. These were powerful reasons for the lost; not so much due to the person. Let’s see the by-election which will reveal a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The party basically has no social manifesto to build and maintain a civil society, which of course el would say is not true, but it is true. 2. Easier for on man (or woman) to gain local credibility and keep winning but there's no overall positive and broad civil society gains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlem is a lot more scary then this guy.. that you even consider either of them for brownie points says a lot about your ethics. The whole of Thai politics is rotten to the core.. junta PTP same same. I mean both did dealings with Kaimanpo (however you spell it godfather of Chonburi and his family). They all seem to have criminal fixers.. the heroin guy.. / Charlem. I hope future forward proves to be different but one thing is for sure most of them are in it for themselves not for the party not for Thailand.
