"Teng" firmly opposed the public perception after the EC's subcommittee ruled that 229 people were not guilty in the Senate vote-rigging case, declaring that his party has additional information and plans to take further action.
On 13 March 2026, Nattapong Ruangpanyawut, leader of the People's Party, commented on the 36th Subcommittee of the Election Commission's decision, which by majority vote overturned the 26th Subcommittee's ruling and found the 229 accused in the Senate vote-rigging case not guilty. He said this contradicts the public's expectations. With the subcommittee's conclusion issued, the matter will now proceed to the full EC meeting, which remains under close watch. He still hopes the EC and relevant agencies will handle the issue transparently.
Regarding the People's Party, Dr. Wayo Asawarungrueng, deputy leader, is closely following the matter. The party now possesses additional information about the past Senate election process and is preparing to take further steps.
When asked about the country's situation and the conflict in the Middle East, Nattapong said the most concerning issue now is energy prices. The government is trying to cap prices, which raises concerns that such measures mainly benefit large businesses, while small gas stations do not gain. He called on the government to disclose supply chain data in the energy sector to ensure transparency across refineries and gas stations, showing who profits and by how much, so the public can see whether government measures are fair to all parties.
