“Parit” reveals additional call records, questioning why the personal advisor of a Thai Proud Party MP called 19 senators a total of 62 times during the Senate election period, demanding a clear explanation.,
On 25 August 2026, Mr. Parit Watcharasindhu, a party-list MP and deputy leader of the Prachachon Party, posted on Facebook revealing call history data. He questioned why the personal advisor of the MP and executive committee member of the Thai Proud Party made calls to 19 senators, totaling 62 times, between June and September 2024.
Mr. Parit stated that one type of information he received, which he believes is part of the investigation files held by relevant agencies in the Senate election fraud case, is the "call log" of the accused. Recently, iLaw released some data about calls between Ang Thong senators and Thai Proud Party MPs from Ang Thong. Today, I reveal call records of a mysterious individual who contacted 19 senators a total of 62 times within just 80 days, overlapping the Senate election period and the start of senators’ duties. This person is identified as Mr. R., one of the 229 individuals the 26th investigative panel concluded had grounds for wrongdoing in the Senate fraud case.
Mr. Parit said that based on the call records he obtained and preliminarily reviewed, this individual made calls to at least 19 senators from various provinces, totaling at least 62 calls between 21 June 2024 and 9 September 2024.
Mr. Parit noted that given the volume, frequency, and timing of these calls, many might suspect that Mr. R. played a key role as a coordinator with the "blue" senators, especially at the start of their duties (beginning with the Senate’s first meeting on 23 July 2024). Since Mr. R. is not a public figure, it may not be easy to directly contact him for answers.
Mr. Parit explained that under current regulations, each MP can appoint a team of eight staff members who receive salaries directly from the parliament (1 expert, 2 specialists, and 5 assistants). According to the Secretariat of the House of Representatives, Mr. R. was appointed as the personal expert of an MP during 2023-2025, overlapping with the 2024 Senate election period.
With the parliament about to open a new session this week and all MPs returning to attend together, I hope to hear clear answers from the MP in question on at least the following questions.
1. During 2023-2025, in what capacity did Mr. R. assist the MP or the Thai Proud Party? Is Mr. R. still assisting the MP or the party currently?
2. Why did Mr. R. make so many calls to senators multiple times during June-September 2024?
3. Is it true that Mr. R. was assigned as one of the coordinators with the elected senators, including arranging joint meetings at the Pullman King Power Hotel in Bangkok during the senators’ early duties?
4. Is it true that the MP in question also attended many meetings with the senators at the Pullman King Power Hotel in Bangkok after the Senate election concluded?
5. If true, did the MP attend these meetings in a personal capacity or as part of the Thai Proud Party executive committee? Were other party executives or MPs present as well?
Mr. Parit added that to prevent confusion caused by the recent interview of the Election Commission secretary-general Saeng Bunmee, he would like to conclude by reviewing Sections 62 (paragraph one) and 76 (paragraph one) of the Senate Election Act, which clarify that those prosecuted by the Election Commission are not limited to senators or Senate candidates.
Section 62 (paragraph one): When the commission announces election results under Section 42 paragraph two, if there is credible evidence that a candidate or any person committed fraud in the election or was complicit in actions that rendered the election unfair or unjust, the commission shall petition the Supreme Court to revoke that person’s right to stand for election or to vote.
Section 76 (paragraph one): Political party executives, other party office holders, members of the House of Representatives, local council members, local executives, political office holders, or any person who in any way assists a candidate to be elected as a senator or causes a candidate not to be elected shall be punishable by imprisonment from one to ten years and fined between 20,000 and 200,000 baht. The court shall also revoke that person’s right to stand for election.
