Reserve Senators Submit Petition to Election Commission Demanding Transparency and Expediting Cases of Election Fraud in 2567 After 4-3 Vote Rejecting Evidence of Collusion

Today (Jan 21) 10:00 am at The Election Commission (EC) headquarters in Chaengwattana, Building B, a group of reserve senators, led by Pol. Lt. Gen. Kamrob Panyakaew, submitted a letter to the EC demanding transparency and an expedited investigation into alleged fraud in the 2024 Senate election and the EC's 4-3 vote rejecting evidence of collusion in the Senate election.

Pol. Lt. Gen. Kamrob stated that they were raising two issues: Firstly, concerns regarding the transparency of the EC's meeting, specifically the change from a 3-2 vote to a 4-3 vote. He added that they reserve the right to take action against those who voted against the decision. Furthermore, they have requested a meeting with the EC chairman to obtain a verbal explanation of the rationale for the decision. They believe they will listen to a satisfactory explanation. But if there is no sufficient reason, we reserve the right to proceed.

The second issue is the case of fraud in the 2024 Senate election, which is under the responsibility of the Election Commission and has been proceeding very slowly. Now, the deadline for consideration by the 36th Subcommittee on Arguments has passed on December 17, 2025. It should now be under consideration by the entire Election Commission.

He therefore requests the Election Commission not to delay, to please consider and decide on this matter quickly according to the regulations and procedures stipulated by law, and to be clear, to proceed according to evidence and be fair on the following issues: 2.1 For the accused who are involved with political parties, political groups, and other individuals who are senators, please bring all evidence appearing in this file to consider the indictment and file charges for criminal prosecution in accordance with the Organic Act on the Acquisition of Members of the Senate 2018, Sections 36, 70, 76, and 77 (1) strictly.

2.2. Regarding the 138 accused senators, there is clear evidence indicating their involvement and knowledge of the corruption in this Senate election. Specifically, the evidence links them to the process of organizing and recruiting candidates, the hiring of candidates for money, the creation of voting slips specifying the numbers of the 138 elected senators, and their actions in staying at hotels and rehearsing how to write voting slips among their network of candidates at various hotels before the election. The evidence also includes the seizure of multiple voting slips with matching numbers. This evidence has been clearly presented in various media outlets and, particularly, in the investigation file of Committee No. 26, leaving no room for doubt. The 138 senators listed as accused must have been complicit and involved in this corruption. Therefore, Section 62 of the Organic Act on the Acquisition of Senate Membership 2018 should be applied.

When asked by reporters whether there was concern about a lack of progress in the Senate election collusion case, which has been ongoing since 2024-2026, and whether a letter had been submitted to meet with the new Election Commission chairman, Pol. Gen. Kamrob stated that another group of reserve senators had already filed a lawsuit in the Anti-Corruption Criminal Court. The court is scheduled to hear on January 27 2026, whether to accept the petition to investigate the merits of the case against the old Election Commission. He added that last year, they had attempted to meet with the old Election Commission but received no response. Furthermore, if the Election Commission is found to have acted dishonestly and unfairly, they will exercise their right to take legal action against those involved.
