"Ice Rakchanok" has arrived, ready to stay overnight guarding the ballot boxes "Chonburi District 1" standing alongside the people, while representatives insist they will not end the protest until a resolution or a new vote count is achieved
On 10 Feb 2026 GMT+7, reporters reported that after the Election Commission clarified doubts regarding vote counting and the referendum, especially in Chonburi's District 1, it affirmed all procedures complied with the law and appointed a task force to complete a fact-finding investigation within two days.
Later, Khun Fon, a representative of Chonburi's people, revealed that after discussions with the Deputy Secretary-General of the Election Commission, the commission will send a central investigative team to Chonburi today to conduct inquiries, gather all evidence, and report back to the Election Commission within no more than two days. The public must wait to see whether a recount will occur, and protesters agreed to disperse around 20:00 hours.
Meanwhile, Police Lieutenant Colonel Siribancha Khwanmuang, deputy superintendent of the Chonburi city police overseeing public order, said that the province, the Election Commission, and police invited the protest leaders demanding a recount of Chonburi District 1 election results to explain their rights to assemble peacefully but lawfully. An agreement was made with protesters to disperse by about 20:00 today. However, some remain concerned that during the two-day period, ballot boxes might be tampered with, so they will guard them without using loudspeakers or inciting unrest.
Most recently, Ms. Rakchanok Srinok, known as Ice, a prospective party-list MP from the People's Party, arrived at the protest to a large welcome from the public. The leaders announced they would not disperse again and would wait until a resolution or a recount is conducted. Ice confirmed she would stay overnight guarding the ballot boxes alongside the people.
