Mr. Chanchai said that he was the only candidate among the 130 people selected by the Nakhon Nayok Provincial Election Commission. cut off application The Supreme Court has ordered the return of the right to apply with him, so he would like to know if the other 129 people from the Election Commission are reported to hold those shares, what shares, how, do they have the same telecommunication shares? And why is it not disqualified?
Mr. Chanchai said that in addition, according to the details appearing in accordance with the order of the Supreme Court, the decision was given in conjunction with the opinion of Asst. Prof. Kanpat Utapao, Dean of the College of Communication Arts. Suan Sunandha Rajabhat University who testified that According to academic principles, the term “mass media” means “a medium that conveys all kinds of news, messages and content to the masses.” or a large group of people no matter what form Traditional media include newspapers, radio, television, movies, present as well as new media. Or online media as well, such as Facebook, YouTube, Tik Tok or various applications if a person, entity or organization is a medium to bring news or content to a large number of people or holding media that is a communication channel or producing content for a large number of people And a lot of people can take it. regarded as the media.”
He asked the Election Commission whether In the case of political parties using social media, including Facebook, YouTube, Tik Tok or various applications in advertising campaigns and dissemination Advertise directly to voters. or a large number of people to receive that news Considered to be the owner of the media according to the 2017 Constitution, Section 98 (3) and the Organic Act (Election of MPs) B.E. And the electoral law, therefore asked the Central Election Commission to answer clearly whether it was wrong or not. Because both political parties and MP candidates Almost everyone uses social media. Campaigning in various forms, both self-produced and outsourced in social media systems Is it against the constitution and the law? must dissolve the party or disqualified or not

If not answered, it means that the ECT violated me alone. After the election, the court summons will definitely arrive at the ECT. However, this is a small matter. But what I sing today is a bigger story. is that political parties Politicians who disseminate information through Facebook, Twitter, Tik Tok, if they are wrong, will be completely removed. will prevent the Election Commission from announcing the results of the election But if the Election Commission approves The nemesis will come to the Election Commission. But I believe that the Supreme Court will have a solution for this matter, ”said Chanchai.
