Pita cleared in first round of media shareholding enquiry


BANGKOK (The Nation/Asia News Network): The Election Commission (EC)’s investigation committee on Monday (Aug 14) resolved that the election watchdog should dismiss an appeal against Move Forward leader and PM candidate Pita Limjaroenrat (pic) regarding his holding of shares of iTV Plc, a news source reported.

In July, the EC ordered a probe against Pita after political activist Ruangkrai Leekitwattana filed a complaint that he was not qualified to run in the election as he held 42,000 shares in media company, iTV.
