The Justice Court issued a clarification regarding the Head of the Election Cases Division meeting former politician “N.” to seek assistance in becoming a Constitutional Court judge.
On 23 Sep 2026, reporters reported that the Justice Court released a statement concerning social media rumors claiming that Mr. Worawut Thawathasin, Head of the Election Cases Division at the Supreme Court, had met former politician “N.” to request support from Senate members for a Constitutional Court judgeship in exchange for assistance in election cases.
The Supreme Court confirmed with Mr. Worawut, the person named in the reports, that he never met the former politician “N.” in question. The statement further noted that although Mr. Worawut currently serves as Head of the Election Cases Division, effective 1 Oct 2026, he will transfer to another administrative role with no involvement in election case adjudication at the Supreme Court.
Due to the dissemination of these false reports damaging Mr. Worawut’s reputation and harming official duties, he has authorized the Case Affairs Office of the Justice Court to track and take full legal action against those who imported and spread these false allegations.
