The government whip asked who is responsible as the Prachachon Party disgracefully distorts facts, accusing ruling MPs of voting with the Senate to approve an amnesty excluding Section 112 cases but absolving those who rigged the election in collusion with the Senate.
On 9 July 2026, reporters reported that Krawee Prisananantakul, MP for Ang Thong and government whip, posted on his personal Facebook that today the Prachachon Party posted accusations that “ruling coalition MPs voted with the Senate to approve amnesty excluding Section 112 but absolving election riggers colluding with the Senate, selective reconciliation?” He said this is a disgraceful distortion. The fact is that the amnesty bill contains not a single word about the Senate collusion case. There was no addition, no amendment, and no vote on this matter at all. This is not a difference of opinion but a distortion of the facts.
Regarding Section 112, this is not new. This bill reaffirms the previous principle set in the prior parliament that it excludes offenses under Penal Code Section 112. This has been the stance of the Bhumjaithai Party and several other parties from the start.
As for political protest cases, whether from the Yellow Shirts, Red Shirts, People's Democratic Reform Committee closing the airport, or past political incidents, these are the reasons for issuing this amnesty bill: to heal wounds and resolve decades-long political conflicts. Mixing nonexistent legal issues with real ones to mislead the public is not scrutiny; it is lying and distorting the truth.
After the post was published, many people were misled, so the Prachachon Party page later corrected the message. The question is: now that the truth has been corrected, who will take responsibility for the public’s misunderstanding? How will the Prachachon Party be accountable for this? Politics can be scrutinized, debated, and disagreed upon, but politics that uses lies as weapons and slander as tools for political gain — is this the new way you want to do politics? This should not be the standard of a party that claims high standards. If you want to elevate politics, you must raise your own standards, not lower them to the lowest level.
P.S. After the page's message was corrected, I am curious how the Prachachon Party will take responsibility for this matter??
