The Democrat Party expresses concern that the 'Senate vote rigging' case is developing into an organized effort involving intimidation and obstruction of opposition investigations. The party has assigned Satit Wongnongtoey to join activities advancing the inquiry alongside opposition parties to bring the truth to light.
On 23 Jul 2026 GMT+7 at the Parliament, Abhisit Vejjajiva, leader of the Democrat Party, discussed the investigation into corruption in the Senate member selection, which society is closely monitoring. He noted that opposition parties, especially the People's Party, have advanced several steps in verifying the facts, including creating participatory processes with the public to help monitor and examine irregularities. What deeply concerns the Democrat Party at present is the emergence of signs and behaviors of intimidation and attempts to obstruct the work of groups conducting in-depth investigations.
He affirmed that the Democrat Party will not back down in the face of such threats. In the upcoming weekend, he has assigned Satit Wongnongtoey, a Democrat Party list MP, to join activities with opposition parties to closely and continuously scrutinize the Senate vote rigging case. The Democrat Party is prepared to protect everyone involved in this work to ensure that the truth is revealed, uphold the facts before society, and hold those responsible accountable.
