"Prit" counters "Pradorn"'s excuse about the Senate vote-rigging list, dismissing it as unconvincing. He reveals direct evidence linked to those charged and confirms the opposition's plan to expose the vote-rigging scandal during the no-confidence debate in late September. and tags:[
On 19 Sep 2026 GMT+7, Prit Watcharasindhu, party-list MP for the Prachachon Party, spoke at the seminar "Tracing the Senate 67 Fraud Process." He criticized the Election Commission's (EC) decision to prosecute only 77 of the 229 accused in the Senate vote-rigging case. He likened this decision to ignoring key evidence, including the preparation of vote lists, use of the same instructor traveling to train, joint meetings at the Pullman Hotel, connections with the Bhumjaithai Party, and inconsistent standards of judgment. and tags:[
Prit also refuted claims by Pradorn Prissanantakul, Minister attached to the Prime Minister's Office, who said the vote-rigging lists were fabricated retroactively. Prit emphasized that without ordered vote instructions, the distribution would be random, not systematically arranged, especially the top six rankings in each group. He further questioned telephone records showing direct calls from Bhumjaithai Party officials to Senate candidates multiple times, as well as calls to the Senate group now prosecuted by the EC. and tags:[
Additionally, Prit exposed irregularities in the formation of the EC's 36th investigation subcommittee, which was claimed to reduce workload. However, four of seven members already served on 35 other subcommittees, while the rest had political affiliations. The timeline of meetings suggests the subcommittee might have been created to await a key witness’s change in testimony, potentially shielding party leaders from repercussions. and tags:[
Prit affirmed that the matter is far from over, as the opposition monitors the case submission to the Supreme Court and prepares to pursue charges under Section 157 and EC law Section 69 against those involved. He announced that the opposition coalition plans to submit a no-confidence motion within September to thoroughly scrutinize the Senate vote-rigging process and allegations of interference with independent agencies. and tags:[
