Five blue senators have filed a complaint with the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) to take action against Sitthichot for publicly revealing confidential details of the senator vote-rigging case, accusing him of serious ethical violations.
At 10:00 a.m. on 5 Oct 2026 at the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) office, Police Lieutenant Colonel Kob Achanakitti, along with four other senators, submitted a petition to the NACC chairman requesting an investigation into Sitthichot Intarawiset, a minority vote member of the Election Commission (EC), concerning the senator vote-rigging case. The complaint alleges that Sitthichot disclosed information about the meeting decisions, the minority vote reasoning, and details from the case files, constituting serious ethical violations and misconduct under Articles 234 and 235 of the constitution. The petition details that revealing vote-by-vote information, identifying the minority EC member, the minority reasoning, witness analysis, and case data breached the confidentiality of EC meetings and decisions, disrespecting the majority vote. The disclosed content could harm the fairness or reputation of the respondents, the majority EC members, and witnesses. It also questions the accuracy and completeness of Sitthichot's media statements, especially regarding voting scores, majority and minority reasoning, investigation scope, and financial trails, which should be compared with official meeting records, case files, and formal resolutions.
The petition further states that ethical standards require EC members to perform their duties fairly, independently, and impartially, free from bias or undue influence, societal pressures, or unlawful coercion. They must respect citizens' rights and freedoms, maintain the confidentiality of meetings and decisions, honor majority votes, and strictly consider all parties' reasoning. Information provided to the public and media should be accurate, complete, and not misleading. Maintaining confidentiality does not mean that all meeting outcomes must remain secret, nor does it permit individual commissioners to disclose internal details without boundaries. The petition urges the NACC to accept the complaint and investigate whether Sitthichot's conduct violated the EC's ethical standards.
