He said that Pheu Thai legal specialist Ruangkrai Leekijwattana's claim that the petition filed by the Democrats against Yingluck over the ricepledging scheme was unlawful had no basis in fact.

Jurit said the party filed the petition with the Senate on November 15, 2013, seeking the impeachment of Yingluck. He said 152 MPs endorsed the petition but after the Senate checked it, six of those MPs resigned. The petition was left with the signatures of 146 MPs, which was not less than the number of MPs required to seek impeachment according to Provision 271 of the 2007 Constitution.

The Senate took ten days to look into the petition before submitting it to the National AntiCorruption Commission on November 25, 2013.

Senate Speaker Nikom Wairatpanich checked the list of MPs, he said, and that was when Ruangkrai should have contacted Nikom.

The National Legislative Assembly will vote on Friday on whether or not Yingluck be impeached over charges by the NACC that she failed to stop corruption in the rice pledging scheme that led to losses amounting to at least Bt500 billion.

The Pheu Thai camp had speculated that Yingluck would probably be impeached because most NLA members were rightwing extremists.
