Yingcheep insists he is not afraid of counter lawsuits over exposing Senate election fraud and is ready to fight in court. He reveals a key strategy to run for Senate next time, aiming to monitor transparency. Meanwhile, Parit declares that if the Election Commission dismisses all 229 cases, it will definitely face charges under Section 157. They plan to use parliamentary tools and no-confidence debates to pressure the government to reveal the truth.
On 26 July 2026, Yingcheep Atchanont, project manager of the Internet Law for People (iLaw), along with Parit Watcharasindhu, a party-list MP for the People’s Party, spoke about the risk of counter lawsuits from those named. They said they are not worried because the information presented is supported by evidence and not intended to defame anyone. Yingcheep added that there are many more names beyond the previously revealed nine, including other clearly involved individuals, and they are ready to present this evidence in court if the case proceeds.
Furthermore, if the Election Commission takes no action and allows this Senate group to complete its term, the first step will be to mobilize the public and political parties to amend the constitution to abolish the current Senate election system.
"I don’t want to be a Senator and am not interested in parliamentary work, but next time if I have to fight more clearly, I will run to sit inside the voting room to see firsthand what happens. I ask the public to vote for me just to allow me to observe, but not to elect me as a Senator in the final round," Yingcheep said.
Parit Watcharasindhu added that if the Election Commission decides to dismiss all 229 accused as recommended by the 36th Review Committee, the opposition is ready to sue the Election Commission for misconduct or dereliction of duty under Section 157, as the evidence in many cases raises clear and reasonable suspicion.
Regarding the government's or politicians’ silence, Parit confirmed that the opposition will fully use parliamentary mechanisms—questions, committees, and no-confidence debates—in the upcoming session. This will address not only the Senate election cases but also other governance concerns. Parit denied rumors that other cases were brought up to divert attention, emphasizing that their efforts have been ongoing. He noted they are racing against time because the Election Commission is scheduled to decide on the cases by August.
