Revote Order Sets Back Tycoon’s Party
From Times Wire Reports
The Election Commission ordered revotes in 62 districts and barred the incoming ruling party from contesting four of them for cheating in Thailand’s Jan. 6 general elections.
The commission also confirmed the victory of tycoon Thaksin Shinawatra’s Thais Love Thais party. The panel’s disqualifications, however, sharply reduced the party’s victory margin. Thirty-two candidates from the party face new balloting.
