"Teng Natthapong" welcomed the Court of Appeal ruling that opens the door for citizens to sue the Election Commission (EC). He said the party's legal team will study the ruling and plans to petition to investigate the "Speaker of the House." He declared the party will not field a candidate for the Sa Kaeo by-election, District 3.
At 09:30 on 9 Nov 2026 at the parliament, Mr. Natthapong Rueangpanyawut, party-list MP and leader of the opposition in the House of Representatives, commented on the Court of Appeal president's ruling allowing citizens to sue the Election Commission (EC) and its secretary at the Criminal Court for Corruption and Misconduct. He said this provides an avenue for citizens who are victims to petition the judiciary to scrutinize political officeholders. For example, the Speaker of the House is under consideration by the Prachachon Party, which has assigned its legal team to study how this ruling might apply to other political officeholders, such as the Speaker of the House.
Mr. Natthapong also commented on the by-election for Sa Kaeo District 3, to fill the seat left vacant by the late Mr. Surasak Chingnavorn of the Kla Tham Party, who passed away on 24 Oct 2026. He said the Prachachon Party has thoroughly evaluated the situation and decided not to field a candidate for the upcoming by-election scheduled for 6 Dec 2026.
