Revealing the Election Commission's resolution on the Senate vote-rigging case: 26 senators indicted by a 4:3 vote, while 21 accused from the Bhumjaithai Party were acquitted by a 5:2 vote. Unanimous decisions were found in the cases of Senator Sorachart and Subin, parliamentary assistants.
On 15 Sep 2026 at the Election Commission office, reporters noted that regarding the Commission's resolution to indict 77 accused in the Senate vote-rigging case, the individual votes on 427 suspects across 7 allegations were mostly majority decisions, including 4:3, 5:2, and 6:1 votes, with only a few unanimous. Specifically, the Commission voted to indict 26 senators on allegations 3 to 7, involving violations of candidate introduction rules, offering or promising incentives to influence voting, hosting events, and soliciting benefits under the 2017 Senate Election Act, Sections 77 (1) and (3). Additional charges of soliciting or accepting benefits in exchange for candidacy (Section 79) and voters soliciting benefits to influence their votes (Section 81) were also decided by a 4:3 majority vote.
Meanwhile, allegations 1 and 2, under Sections 76 paragraphs one and two of the 2017 Senate Election Act, prohibit party executives, MPs, local council members, local executives, or political officeholders from assisting or hindering any Senate candidate's election, or candidates consenting to party support. Among the 21 accused from Bhumjaithai Party, including party executives, MPs, and political officeholders, the Commission voted 5 to 2 to not indict. The two dissenting votes came from Sitthichote Intarawiset and Chai Nakhonchai.
Unanimous resolutions were reached in cases such as Sorachart Vichaya Suwannaprom from Group 13 (Science, Technology, Communications, Innovation) of Nong Bua Lamphu Province. According to Committee 26's investigation, there was clear financial trail and LINE chat evidence involving Subin Sakda, a parliamentary assistant to MP Pichai Chomphupol of Surat Thani from Bhumjaithai Party. Evidence showed money transfers to Worapot Tangpunphian and Nisita Manchai, both of whom were also indicted by the Commission.
