The Election Commission on Tuesday formed a panel to check into the credentials of Democrat MP Panich Vikitsreth following his sentencing in Cambodia for a suspended jail term on the offence of illegal entry.
EC member Prapun Naigowit said the panel will have 30 days to complete its task.
Under Article 106 of the Constitution, MP sentenced for imprisonment or suspended jail term will be disqualified from holding the House seat. An exception is granted for minor offence or negligence.
Prapun said the panel would have to determine whether the verdict by a foreign court is applicable to Panich's job status.
Should the EC rule to disqualify Panich, this will prompt a mandatory judicial review by the Constitution Court.
