Mr. Ittiporn Boonpracong , President of Thailand’s Election Commission.
By Roy Lie Atjam.
The veteran diplomat Mr. Ittiporn Boonpracong has been selected to become the next president of Thailand’s Election Commission (EC) and the Constitution Drafting Committee (CDC). Mr. Ittiporn Boonpracong , had been Director of the Treaties and Legal Affairs Department at the Thai Foreign Affairs Ministry.
Up to the autumn of 2016, he had been Plenipotentiary Ambassador of the Royal Thai Kingdom to the Netherlands.
When I contacted Ambassador Ittiporn Boonpracong about the new phase in his career he quipped “big challenge, I will try my best as always. Hoping my bad sense of humour will not lead me to undesirable path”.
No doubt, Ittiporn Boonpracong meets the requirements to execute the function of President of the Election Commission. I wish him every success.
