The Election Commission has referred the case to the Supreme Court to prosecute and revoke the rights of three intermediaries involved in nationwide Senate election fraud, after clear evidence and witness confirmation. Meanwhile, 22 other candidates face additional investigation orders.
On 23 Dec 2025 GMT+7, the Election Commission ordered a petition to the Supreme Court to revoke the candidacy rights or voting rights of Abdulloe Suemae (Respondent No. 24), Mayali Bado (Respondent No. 25), and Muhammad Masri Hami (Respondent No. 26). All three are non-candidates in the Senate election, in accordance with Section 62 of the Act on the Acquisition of Senators, B.E. 2561 (2018), and Section 226 of the Constitution. They are also subject to criminal prosecution under Section 77 (1) of the same law for jointly committing election fraud in the nationwide Senate election held on 26 Jun 2024.
There is credible evidence that Abdulloe, Mayali, and Muhammad Masri conspired to offer, promise, or prepare to give property or other benefits to induce Suria Dure, an eligible voter in the nationwide Senate election, Group 7, Number 26, to vote or not vote for any candidate. This violates Section 77 (1) of the Act on the Acquisition of Senators B.E. 2561, constituting election fraud that undermines the integrity and fairness of the Senate election, as per Section 62 of the Act and Section 226 of the Constitution. According to the Supreme Court judgment, case number Lat. Saw 1/2568 and Lat. Saw 47/2568 dated 5 Aug 2025, Suria Dure (Respondent No. 5), the eligible voter involved, is retained as a witness and not criminally prosecuted.
This case involves 23 respondents who are eligible voters in Group 7 of the nationwide Senate election, plus three individuals without voting rights. The EC decided to separate the cases of Respondents No. 5 and No. 24-26 for specific action, while the other 22 eligible voters face further investigation. The EC assigned Investigation and Inquiry Committee No. 4 at the central level, which previously handled the inquiry, to continue the investigation until completion and to proceed according to the EC regulations on investigation, inquiry, and resolution, B.E. 2561, and its amendments.
