Sonthiya Sawasdee yesterday submitted a petition urging the EC to investigate and take legal action against the ruling Pheu Thai Party and the main opposition, the People’s Party (PP). Srisuwan Janya, leader of the “Love Nation, Love Land” group, filed a separate petition with the same request.

Mr Sonthiya alleged that Thaksin and Thanathorn — neither of whom is amember of the two parties, with both barred from holding political rights — were exerting influence over government formation talks.
