Jeab Amarat urges the People's Party candidate selection team to take responsibility after errors in screening, revealing that the public had previously given tips and information to the party but the team neglected to conduct deeper investigations.
15 Jan 2026 GMT+7 Amarat Chokepamitkul Former party-list Member of Parliament (MP) from the Move Forward Party posted on her personal Facebook about the case involving Ratchapong Soisuang, People's Party MP candidate for Tak's 2nd constituency. He was detained by the Technology Crime Suppression Division (TCSD) on charges of involvement with an online gambling website. She noted that although the People's Party quickly issued a clear statement refusing to protect the accused, which she agreed with and considered appropriate,
Amarat further stated, in this case, the candidate selection team, both at the provincial and central levels, should take some form of responsibility proportional to their failure in candidate screening, as it is known that some members of the public had previously provided tips (rumors without presenting evidence). and shared information with the party, (again, rumors without evidence). but the team was negligent in conducting a more thorough investigation before endorsing the candidacy. .
