Gauntlet thrown down to the Election Commission before it votes on explosive Senate collusion scandal

Thailand’s Election Commission entered a decisive Monday under mounting political pressure over the 2024 Senate collusion case. At stake are 229 people, including 138 serving senators, and whether their cases reach the Supreme Court. A failure to refer all 229 now threatens to ignite a wider political struggle. People’s Party MP Parit Wacharasindhu has pointed towards Parliament and a coming no-confidence offensive against Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul’s government. Meanwhile, iLaw director Yingcheep Atchanon has warned that evidence could be released publicly if commissioners close or narrow the case. Seven commissioners must now choose between rival findings, with the consequences set to reach far beyond Monday’s vote. The drums of political conflict are already beating.

People’s Party MP Parit Wacharasindhu and iLaw director Yingcheep Atchanon threw down the gauntlet to the Election Commission on Sunday. Both demanded that all 229 people in the Senate collusion case be sent to the Supreme Court.

More significantly, both warned that Monday’s vote would not end the affair if commissioners backed away. Parit pointed towards Parliament and a coming no-confidence offensive. Yingcheep, meanwhile, threatened the public release of evidence held by iLaw.

The warnings came during an 11-kilometre mobilisation across Bangkok on Sunday. Participants walked, ran and cycled from iLaw’s Chatuchak office to the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre. People’s Party leader Nattapong Ruangpanyawut joined the event. Parit and former election commissioner Somchai Srisutthiyakorn also participated. In parallel, similar activities were organised elsewhere in Thailand. The central demand was uncompromising: send all 229 cases to court.

iLaw threatens evidence release as opposition prepares no-confidence offensive over the Senate case

Yingcheep delivered the clearest warning over what could follow a dismissal. He said iLaw held extensive information concerning people implicated by the investigation. If commissioners exclude particular suspects, iLaw will disclose evidence concerning those people. Should commissioners terminate everything, the organisation is prepared to release much more. In effect, closing the official case could open a new public battle over its evidence.

Parit opened a separate political front. He confirmed that opposition parties were preparing a no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul’s government. The motion is expected in September, with the parliamentary debate around October. Separately, opposition parties are compiling accusations and deciding which ministers will face attack. Anutin and Digital Economy and Society Minister Chaichanok Chidchob are already principal targets.

The Senate case could now become part of that offensive. Other issues include the local-government examination scandal and TH-AI Passport controversy. Notably, Parit has indicated that the opposition holds further information which has not been disclosed. Monday’s decision could therefore propel the Senate affair directly onto Parliament’s floor.

Against that backdrop, the Election Commission entered Monday facing pressure from several directions. Its seven commissioners were scheduled to begin their decisive meeting at 10 am. Crucially, the commission has committed to announcing the outcome at 3 pm. That pledge matters because concerns had grown that commissioners might vote without immediately revealing their decision.

Seven commissioners face conflicting findings as all 229 Senate cases reach decisive Monday vote

At stake are 138 serving senators and another 91 political figures and associates. Together, they comprise 229 people identified during the investigation into the 2024 Senate selection. The Election Commission and Department of Special Investigation jointly investigated the affair. Yet two internal processes have produced dramatically different conclusions.

Committee 26 recommended proceedings against all 229 people after an extensive inquiry. Investigators questioned more than 700 witnesses and examined substantial documentary material. By contrast, Committee 36 later voted 5-2 to recommend dismissing every complaint. Seven commissioners must now resolve that fundamental conflict.

Three broad outcomes are available. First, commissioners could refer all 229 cases to the Supreme Court’s Election Cases Division. Alternatively, they could dismiss everything. A third course would send selected individuals forward while clearing others. Increasingly, that has emerged as a possible middle route.

Sunday’s campaigners rejected that option. Their demand was that all 229 cases receive judicial examination. Referral itself would not establish guilt. Rather, the Supreme Court would examine the evidence and determine responsibility individually. Parit made that argument forcefully during Sunday afternoon’s demonstration.

Parit cites financial trails, audio clips and voting evidence as he demands all 229 people face court

At about 4.50 pm, Parit spoke at the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre. He said he attended as a citizen demanding fair and impartial Election Commission action. Above all, he argued that commissioners should follow their own previous standards. Without political interference, he said, all 229 cases should reach court.

Parit gave two principal reasons. The first concerned the scale and nature of the evidence already gathered. He cited voting slips, voting boards and evidence concerning appointments. In addition, he listed financial trails, audio clips and telephone records. Investigators had also examined meetings, communications and organised voting information.

For comparison, Parit cited an earlier Election Commission case involving only several Line messages. Those messages concerned exchanging votes and matching candidates, he said. They contained no references to money or benefits. Even so, the Election Commission sent that case to court.

The Senate investigation contained considerably more material, Parit argued. On that basis, he said commissioners already had sufficient grounds for judicial proceedings. He also challenged suggestions that changed witness testimony undermined the case. According to Parit, the investigation never depended upon one person.

Parit raises conflict concerns over four commissioners approved by senators now among the accused

Instead, the evidence included financial movements, communications, appointments, meetings and voting material. Accordingly, Parit argued that one witness changing testimony could not erase everything else. That question has become important as controversy surrounds evidence given by one particular witness.

Parit’s second argument concerned four Election Commission members. He said at least four of the seven commissioners faced a conflict of interest. Those four reached office after receiving Senate approval. At the same time, senators involved in that process are among people accused in the current investigation.

Parit therefore argued that those commissioners should avoid discretion benefiting people who endorsed them. Sending all 229 cases to court would remove that problem, he said. The Supreme Court could then determine guilt or innocence. As part of this, Parit directly addressed the commissioners ahead of Monday’s meeting.

“I want the Election Commission to perform its duties honestly and straightforwardly,” Parit said.

He then addressed the Senate’s role in appointing four commissioners. “It’s undeniable that the four current commissioners became commissioners because they were approved by the Senators who are on the list of those accused.”

Parit demands transparency from commissioners and warns against a system where blue can do no wrong

Parit followed with another direct warning. “But I don’t want the Election Commission to think about repaying debts of gratitude to those who helped them get into their positions.”

Instead, he urged commissioners to consider the country’s future and legal principles. “I want them to think about the future of the country, to consider legal principles, and to perform their duties honestly and straightforwardly,” Parit said.

Another concern involved how Monday’s decision could be disclosed. Reports suggested commissioners might reveal only the number of people facing proceedings. Under that scenario, individual names might initially remain undisclosed. In response, Parit said he hoped those reports were incorrect.

If commissioners voted fairly, he argued, they should explain their reasoning publicly. That should include why particular people were referred and others were excluded. Furthermore, Parit pointed to transparency as part of the Election Commission’s own public message. Its conduct should therefore reflect that commitment, he said.

The People’s Party deputy leader then addressed a complete dismissal. He said the matter would definitely not end there. For the moment, however, he urged supporters to concentrate on Monday’s vote. Fewer than 24 hours remained before commissioners were due to meet.

Parit said his personal disappointment was not important. Instead, he focused on the political consequences if nobody faced proceedings. He warned against creating a system where those wearing “blue shirts” could do no wrong. Blue is closely associated with Bhumjaithai.

Anutin faces no-confidence offensive as opposition prepares Senate case and other scandals for debate

Prime Minister Anutin and several senior Bhumjaithai figures are among those implicated by the investigation. They have denied involvement. Nonetheless, Parit said the People’s Party would continue pursuing the matter if commissioners stopped the cases.

On another front, preparations for the opposition’s no-confidence motion are already advancing. Parit said opposition parties were drafting the motion and compiling their ministerial targets. They are also assembling the specific accusations for the parliamentary debate. He expects the motion to be submitted within September.

The debate should then take place around October, according to Parit. Anutin and Chaichanok are among the principal targets. The Senate case could form one strand of the opposition attack. Alongside it are the local-government examination scandal and TH-AI Passport controversy.

The opposition also says it possesses further information which has not been released. As a result, Monday’s Election Commission decision could have an immediate parliamentary afterlife. Dismissal would not prevent the opposition from pursuing the affair through other channels.

Minutes after Parit spoke, Yingcheep delivered the civil-society side of that warning. At about 5 pm, the iLaw director addressed demonstrators outside the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre. He described Monday as a crossroads for the Senate case. His demand was equally clear: prosecute all 229 and send the evidence to court.

Yingcheep threatens public evidence release if Election Commission spares suspects in Senate case

Yingcheep argued that the Supreme Court offered a more neutral forum than the Election Commission. He also questioned unequal law enforcement and the origins of independent agencies. However, his sharpest intervention concerned evidence already held outside the commission.

“If the Election Commission decides not to prosecute all or any of them, we have a lot of information in our hands that we are ready to present to the public so that everyone can see who did what.”

Yingcheep then addressed commissioners directly. “Therefore, I would like to urge the Election Commission, which was formed by electing the Senators, that if they don’t want us to perform that duty, then they should just prosecute all 229 people and present the case to the Supreme Court, which is a more neutral body than the Election Commission.”

That warning covered both partial and complete dismissal. If commissioners spare particular people, iLaw says it will release information concerning those individuals. Conversely, clearing everybody could trigger a broader disclosure. Previously unseen material could therefore enter public circulation after Monday’s announcement.

Beyond the immediate case, Yingcheep linked the dispute with Thailand’s constitutional process. He referred to the February 8 referendum on drafting a replacement constitution. More than 21 million voters supported drafting a new charter to replace the 2017 Constitution.

Yingcheep links Senate prosecutions to constitutional change as campaigners threaten a referendum No

Yingcheep outlined two possible paths. Under the first, commissioners would refuse proceedings against the accused senators. The existing Senate group would then retain its positions and influence. He warned that this could affect the process surrounding a new constitution.

If that process produced an unacceptable charter, Yingcheep said campaigners were prepared to vote “No” at a referendum. Under his second scenario, proceedings would move forward. Accused senators would then temporarily cease performing their duties while the legal process continued.

Meanwhile, Yingcheep said the government could continue operating normally. He argued that the constitutional process would then have greater room for broader participation. His immediate focus, however, remained Monday’s Election Commission decision.

Before Sunday’s event ended, participants staged a final display. They formed a human mosaic showing faces connected with the Senate selection. Beside them appeared the number “229”. The event concluded with the call: “Down with dictatorship! Down with the Senate collusion scheme! All 229 people must be prosecuted!”

Street pressure was only one part of the gathering storm. Earlier, academics, economists, former lawmakers and civil-society figures had also intervened. Four civil-society networks joined prominent public figures in demanding Supreme Court scrutiny. They urged commissioners not to terminate the affair internally.

Civil groups demand judicial scrutiny as Election Commission defends independence before decisive vote

Instead, those groups called for the evidence to be examined judicially. Former politicians and constitutional figures have also focused attention on the commissioners themselves. Khunying Sudarat Keyuraphan issued one of the strongest warnings. She said those sitting in judgment could themselves face judgment later.

The Election Commission has resisted those demands. It insists its commissioners exercise their powers independently. Likewise, it says decisions must rest solely upon law and evidence. The commission has also stressed that it is not itself an investigative body.

Even so, the seven commissioners face two irreconcilable recommendations produced within the case. Committee 26 found grounds for proceedings against all 229 people. Committee 36 wants the complaints dismissed. The latter reached that conclusion through a 5-2 vote.

The underlying investigation concerned the nationwide Senate selection completed on June 26, 2024. That process elected 200 senators through a multi-stage system involving 20 occupational groups. Investigators claim an organised network coordinated candidates across those groups.

Specifically, the inquiry examined organised voting and candidate coordination. Investigators also examined meetings, political networks, communications and financial movements. More than 700 witnesses were questioned during the process. Extensive documentary material was also gathered.

Committee 26 seeks action against 229 as rival panel recommends dismissal after a sharply divided process

Ultimately, Committee 26 concluded that 138 serving senators had obtained their positions unlawfully. Another 91 politicians and associates were implicated. The panel therefore recommended proceedings against all 229 people.

Committee 36 subsequently reached the opposite conclusion. Its 5-2 vote recommended dismissing the complaints. That reversal has placed the final responsibility directly upon the seven commissioners. They can accept either recommendation or divide the cases individually.

Hours before Monday’s meeting, another intervention increased the pressure. Former election commissioner Somchai Srisutthiyakorn publicly identified the person previously coded as “Witness 16”. Somchai named him as Ekkarat Changlao, a former Bhumjaithai figure.

According to Somchai, Ekkarat previously gave evidence implicating senior political figures. Somchai claimed that testimony was subsequently changed. Those claims concern evidence which commissioners must assess. Their disclosure nevertheless placed another disputed element of the investigation into public view.

The timing was significant. Somchai made the intervention shortly before commissioners prepared to deliberate. At the same time, security was strengthened around Election Commission headquarters. Police prepared roughly one company of officers for demonstrators and other groups expected outside.

Witness 16 disclosure adds pressure as police tighten security before Election Commission decision

A full referral would immediately change the arena. The central dispute would move from the Election Commission into the Supreme Court. There, evidence concerning 138 senators and 91 other people could receive judicial examination. Individual guilt or innocence would then become a matter for the court.

A partial referral would create different pressure. Commissioners would need to explain why certain people reached court while others escaped proceedings. Parit has already demanded those explanations. Yingcheep, in turn, says iLaw will disclose evidence concerning people who are spared.

Complete dismissal carries the clearest political consequences already threatened publicly. iLaw says it is prepared to release substantial information. At the parliamentary level, the People’s Party says the matter would continue through other accountability mechanisms.

Meanwhile, the no-confidence offensive is moving ahead independently. Opposition parties expect to submit their motion during September. Parit expects the debate around October. The Senate case could consequently move from Election Commission headquarters directly into another confrontation at Parliament.

There are other pressures waiting there. The local-government examination scandal is already among the issues being assembled. So is the TH-AI Passport controversy. Additionally, Parit says opposition parties possess information which has not yet been disclosed.

Sunday street mobilisation leaves seven commissioners facing three stark choices in the Senate case

Sunday therefore transformed the atmosphere surrounding Monday’s decision. The Senate affair moved visibly from investigative files onto Bangkok’s streets. At the same time, academics, economists, former lawmakers and civil-society groups increased their pressure on commissioners.

Yet the formal decision remains with seven people. Before them are conflicting conclusions from Committees 26 and 36. One recommends proceedings against all 229 accused people. The other recommends that every complaint be dismissed.

A third option remains available. Commissioners could divide the cases and send only selected people to court. But that route would immediately place every exclusion under scrutiny. Both Parit and Yingcheep have already made that clear.

By Monday morning, the lines were firmly drawn. Police were ready outside Election Commission headquarters. Civil-society groups were waiting for the outcome. The opposition was preparing its next parliamentary offensive.

Most importantly, Yingcheep had placed the prospect of fresh evidence releases directly before the commissioners. Parit had placed Parliament and the coming no-confidence debate behind it. Neither said the dispute would end with dismissal.

The seven commissioners were due to begin their meeting at 10 am. At 3 pm, the Election Commission has promised its decision.

在生活、媒体、政治、泰国

泰国选举委员会周一面临巨大政治压力，就2024年参议院串谋案进行关键性投票。此案涉及229人，其中包括138名现任参议员，他们的案件能否最终提交最高法院将决定性地推翻。如果未能将所有229人提交最高法院，则可能引发更广泛的政治斗争。人民党议员帕里特·瓦查拉辛杜（Parit Wacharasindhu）指出，此举将影响国会，并可能引发针对总理阿努廷·查恩维拉库尔（Anutin Charnvirakul）政府的不信任动议。与此同时，iLaw组织负责人英奇普·阿查农（Yingcheep Atchanon）警告称，如果委员会最终决定结案或缩小调查范围，相关证据可能会被公开。七名委员现在必须在相互矛盾的调查结果中做出选择，其影响将远远超出周一的投票结果。政治冲突的阴云已经笼罩。

人民党议员帕里特·瓦查拉辛杜和iLaw主任英奇普·阿查农周日向选举委员会发起挑战。两人要求将参议院串谋案中的所有229人移交最高法院审理。

更重要的是，两人都警告说，如果专员们退缩，周一的投票并不能结束此事。帕里特指出，议会即将发起不信任投票。与此同时，英奇普威胁要公开iLaw掌握的证据。

周日，在曼谷举行的一场11公里长的动员活动中，发出了这些警告。参与者从iLaw的乍都乍周末市场办公室步行、跑步或骑自行车前往曼谷艺术文化中心。人民党领袖纳塔蓬·鲁昂帕尼亚武特也参加了此次活动。帕里特和前选举委员会委员颂猜·斯里苏提亚空也参与其中。与此同时，泰国其他地区也组织了类似的活动。他们的核心诉求毫不妥协：将所有229起案件提交法院审理。

反对派准备就参议院案件发起不信任攻击之际，iLaw威胁要公布证据。

英奇普就此案可能引发的后果发出了最明确的警告。他表示，iLaw掌握着大量与调查对象相关的资料。如果委员会排除某些嫌疑人，iLaw将公开与这些人有关的证据。如果委员会终止所有调查，该组织准备公布更多信息。实际上，结案可能会引发一场关于证据的新一轮公开争论。

帕里特另辟蹊径，开辟了新的政治阵线。他证实，反对党正在准备对总理阿努廷·查恩维拉库尔领导的政府发起不信任动议。该动议预计将于9月提出，议会辩论则可能在10月左右进行。与此同时，反对党正在收集指控，并决定攻击哪些部长。阿努廷和数字经济与社会部长柴查诺·奇乔布已是主要目标。

参议院的这起案件现在可能成为这场攻势的一部分。其他议题还包括地方政府考试丑闻和泰国-印度护照争议。值得注意的是，帕里特暗示反对派掌握着更多尚未公开的信息。因此，周一的裁决可能将参议院事件直接推上国会。

在此背景下，选举委员会周一面临来自多方的压力。其七名委员原定于上午10点召开决定性会议。至关重要的是，委员会承诺将于下午3点公布结果。这一承诺至关重要，因为此前人们越来越担心委员们可能会在不立即公布结果的情况下进行投票。

七位委员的调查结果相互矛盾，参议院全部229起案件将于周一进行最终表决。

此次事件牵涉到138名现任参议员以及另外91名政治人物和相关人士。在对2024年参议院选举的调查中，共确认了229名涉案人员。选举委员会和特别调查部联合对此事展开调查。然而，两项内部调查却得出了截然不同的结论。

经过广泛调查，第26委员会建议对所有229人提起诉讼。调查人员询问了700多名证人，并审查了大量书面材料。相比之下，第36委员会后来以5比2的投票结果建议驳回所有投诉。现在，七位委员必须解决这一根本冲突。

三种主要结果可能出现。首先，委员会可以将全部229起案件提交最高法院选举案件庭审理。或者，他们可以驳回所有案件。第三种方案是让部分涉案人员继续接受调查，同时对其他涉案人员予以澄清。这种方案正逐渐成为一种可行的折中方案。

周日的活动人士拒绝了这一方案。他们的诉求是所有229起案件都应接受司法审查。移交本身并不能认定有罪，而是由最高法院审查证据并逐案判定责任。帕里特在周日下午的示威活动中有力地阐述了这一观点。

帕里特援引财务记录、录音和投票证据，要求将全部229人绳之以法。

下午4点50分左右，帕里特在曼谷艺术文化中心发表讲话。他表示，自己是以公民身份出席，要求选举委员会采取公平公正的行动。他强调，委员们必须恪守以往的准则。他指出，在不受政治干预的情况下，所有229起案件都应该提交法院审理。

帕里特给出了两个主要理由。首先是已收集证据的规模和性质。他列举了选票、投票记录和任命相关证据。此外，他还列出了财务记录、录音和电话记录。调查人员还审查了会议记录、通信记录和投票资料。

为了进行比较，帕里特引用了选举委员会之前的一个案例，该案仅涉及几条Line消息。他说，这些消息内容是交换选票和匹配候选人，没有提及金钱或利益。即便如此，选举委员会还是将该案提交给了法院。

帕里特辩称，参议院的调查包含了更多材料。基于此，他表示，委员会已经有足够的理由启动司法程序。他还反驳了关于证人证词被篡改会削弱案件的说法。帕里特表示，调查从未依赖于任何一个人。

帕里特对四名由参议员批准的委员提出了利益冲突的担忧，这四名委员现在也身陷囹圄。

相反，证据包括财务往来、通信记录、预约、会议和投票材料。因此，帕里特辩称，一名证人更改证词并不能抹杀其他所有证据。随着围绕某位证人证词的争议不断升级，这个问题变得尤为重要。

帕里特的第二个论点涉及四名选举委员会成员。他指出，七名委员中至少有四人存在利益冲突。这四人是在获得参议院批准后上任的。与此同时，参与该任命程序的参议员也位列当前调查的被告之列。

因此，帕里特认为，这些委员应该避免行使自由裁量权，使那些支持他们的人受益。他表示，将全部229起案件提交法院就能解决这个问题。届时，最高法院可以裁定被告是否有罪。为此，帕里特在周一的会议前直接向委员们发表了讲话。

“我希望选举委员会能够诚实、正直地履行职责，”帕里特说。

随后，他谈到了参议院在任命四名委员过程中的作用。“不可否认，这四位现任委员之所以能成为委员，是因为他们得到了被指控的参议员名单上的那些人的批准。”

帕里特要求委员们保持透明，并警告不要建立一个让蓝色部门永远不会犯错的制度。

帕里特随后又发出另一番直接警告：“但我不想让选举委员会考虑如何报答那些帮助他们上位的人。”

相反，他敦促委员们考虑国家的未来和法律原则。“我希望他们思考国家的未来，考虑法律原则，并诚实正直地履行职责，”帕里特说。

另一个令人担忧的问题是周一的决定将如何公布。有报道称，委员会可能只会公布面临诉讼的人数。在这种情况下，个人姓名最初可能不会公开。对此，帕里特表示，他希望这些报道是不实的。

他认为，如果委员们投票公正，就应该公开解释其理由，包括为何某些人被提名，而另一些人被排除在外。此外，帕里特指出，透明度是选举委员会自身对外宣传的一部分，因此，其行为也应体现这一承诺。

人民党副党魁随后发表了彻底解散的声明。他表示，此事绝不会就此结束。但目前，他敦促支持者们集中精力关注周一的投票。距离委员们开会仅剩不到24小时。

帕里特表示，他个人的失望并不重要。相反，他更关注的是如果无人受到追究，将会产生的政治后果。他警告说，不要建立一个“蓝衬衫”可以逍遥法外的体系。蓝色与“泰自豪党”密切相关。

阿努廷面临不信任投票，反对派准备在参议院就此案和其他丑闻展开辩论。

总理阿努廷和几位泰自豪党高层人士均在调查之列。他们否认参与其中。然而，帕里特表示，如果调查委员会停止调查，人民党将继续追查此事。

另一方面，反对党发起不信任动议的准备工作也在紧锣密鼓地进行中。帕里特表示，反对党正在起草动议，并列出各自的部长级目标。他们还在整理将在议会辩论中提出的具体指控。他预计动议将于9月前提交。

帕里特表示，辩论预计将在10月左右举行。阿努廷和柴查诺克是主要攻击目标。参议院案件可能成为反对派攻击的一个方面。此外，地方政府考试丑闻和泰国-印度护照争议也是反对派攻击的重点。

反对派还表示掌握更多尚未公开的信息。因此，周一选举委员会的决定可能会立即在议会引发后续影响。即使被解职，反对派仍会通过其他渠道继续追究此事。

帕里特发言几分钟后，英奇普代表公民社会发出了同样的警告。下午5点左右，这位iLaw主任在曼谷艺术文化中心外向示威者发表讲话。他称周一是参议院案件的十字路口。他的要求同样明确：起诉全部229名被告，并将证据提交法院。

英奇普威胁称，如果选举委员会在参议院案件中放过嫌疑人，他将公开证据。

英奇普认为，最高法院比选举委员会更中立。他还质疑执法不公和独立机构的起源。然而，他最尖锐的批评是关于委员会之外已掌握的证据。

“如果选举委员会决定不起诉他们中的任何一人或全部，我们掌握了大量信息，随时准备向公众公布，让大家都能看清谁做了什么。”

随后，英奇普直接对各位委员说道：“因此，我想敦促由参议员选举产生的选举委员会，如果他们不希望我们履行这项职责，那么他们就应该起诉所有229人，并将案件提交最高法院，最高法院比选举委员会更加中立。”

该警告涵盖了部分和全部解雇两种情况。iLaw表示，如果委员会豁免某些特定人员，将会公布这些人的信息。反之，如果所有人都被免除责任，则可能引发更广泛的信息披露。因此，此前未公开的材料可能会在周一的公告发布后进入公众视野。

除了案件本身，英奇普还将这场争端与泰国的宪法进程联系起来。他提到了2月8日举行的关于起草新宪法的全民公投。超过2100万选民支持起草一部新宪章以取代2017年宪法。

英奇普将参议院的起诉与宪法改革联系起来，活动人士威胁要举行全民公投。

英奇普概述了两种可能的方案。第一种方案是，委员会将拒绝就涉事参议员提起诉讼。这样一来，现有的参议院党团将保住其职位和影响力。他警告说，这可能会影响新宪法的制定进程。

如果这一程序最终产生一份无法接受的宪章，英奇普表示，活动人士准备在全民公投中投“反对票”。根据他的第二种方案，程序将继续进行。届时，被指控的参议员将暂时停止履行职责，直至法律程序结束。

与此同时，英奇普表示政府可以继续正常运作。他认为，这样一来，宪政程序就能有更大的空间让更多人参与。然而，他眼下的关注点仍然是周一选举委员会的决定。

周日活动结束前，参与者们进行了最后的展示。他们组成了一幅人体马赛克图案，图案上是与参议院选举相关的面孔。在他们旁边出现了数字“229”。活动最后高呼：“打倒独裁！打倒参议院的勾结阴谋！所有229人都必须受到起诉！”

街头抗议只是这场风暴酝酿的一部分。此前，学者、经济学家、前议员和公民社会人士也已介入此事。四个公民社会网络与知名公众人物联手，要求最高法院介入审查。他们敦促专员们不要内部解决此事。

在决定性投票前，民间团体要求对选举委员会进行司法审查，该委员会则捍卫其独立性。

相反，这些团体呼吁对证据进行司法审查。前政界人士和宪法界人士也把注意力集中在了这些委员身上。苏达拉·凯尤拉潘夫人发出了最为严厉的警告之一。她说，那些参与审判的人日后也可能面临审判。

选举委员会拒绝了这些要求。它坚持认为其委员独立行使权力，并表示所有决定必须完全基于法律和证据。委员会还强调，它本身并非调查机构。

即便如此，七位委员仍面临着案件中提出的两项相互矛盾的建议。第26委员会认为有理由对所有229人提起诉讼。第36委员会则希望驳回这些投诉。后者以5比2的投票结果做出了这一决定。

此次调查的核心是2024年6月26日完成的全国参议院选举。该选举采用多阶段制度，涉及20个职业团体，最终选出200名参议员。调查人员声称，一个有组织的网络协调了这些团体中的候选人。

具体而言，此次调查着重考察了有组织的投票和候选人协调工作。调查人员还审查了会议、政治网络、通信和资金流动情况。调查过程中，超过700名证人接受了询问，并收集了大量的书面资料。

委员会26寻求对229号委员采取行动，而另一个小组则在经过一场意见严重分歧的程序后建议将其解职。与此同时，委员会26寻求对229号委员采取行动，而另一个小组则建议将其解职。

最终，第26委员会得出结论，138名在任参议员的职位是通过非法手段获得的。另有91名政客及其同伙牵涉其中。因此，该委员会建议对这229人提起诉讼。

第36委员会随后得出相反的结论。该委员会以5比2的投票结果建议驳回这些投诉。这一逆转将最终责任直接交到了七位委员手中。他们可以接受任何一项建议，也可以分别处理这些案件。

周一会议召开前数小时，另一次介入加剧了压力。前选举委员颂猜·斯里苏提亚空公开指认了此前代号为“证人16号”的人。颂猜称此人是前泰自豪党成员埃卡拉·昌劳。

据颂猜称，埃卡拉特此前曾提供证词，牵涉到多位高级政治人物。颂猜声称，埃卡拉特的证词后来被篡改。这些说法涉及的证据需要由调查委员会进行评估。尽管如此，这些说法的披露仍将调查中另一个存在争议的环节公之于众。

时机至关重要。颂猜在委员们准备进行审议前不久发表了讲话。与此同时，选举委员会总部周围的安保措施也得到了加强。警方部署了一个连的警力，以应对可能在外面出现的示威者和其他团体。

第16号证人证词的披露加剧了压力，警方在选举委员会做出决定前加强了安保措施。

全面移交将立即改变局势。争议的核心将从选举委员会转移到最高法院。届时，涉及138名参议员和91名其他人员的证据将接受司法审查。个人是否有罪将由法院来裁决。

部分移送会带来不同的压力。专员需要解释为何有些人被送上法庭，而另一些人却逃脱了诉讼程序。帕里特已经要求做出这些解释。而英奇普则表示，iLaw将披露那些被免于起诉的人的相关证据。

彻底解雇会带来最明显的政治后果，这一点已公开表示。iLaw表示已准备好公布大量信息。在议会层面，人民党表示此事将继续通过其他问责机制进行追究。

与此同时，不信任动议正在独立推进。反对党预计将于9月提交动议。帕里特预计辩论将在10月左右举行。因此，参议院的案件可能会直接从选举委员会总部转移到议会，引发另一场冲突。

还有其他压力潜伏其中。地方政府考试丑闻和泰国-印度护照争议都已列入其中。此外，帕里特表示，反对党掌握着尚未公开的信息。

周日的街头动员使七名委员在参议院案件中面临三个严峻的选择。

因此，周日的事件改变了周一决定的氛围。参议院事件明显从调查文件转移到了曼谷街头。与此同时，学者、经济学家、前议员和民间团体加大了对委员们的压力。

然而，最终的正式决定权仍掌握在七位法官手中。摆在他们面前的是第26委员会和第36委员会相互矛盾的结论。其中一项建议对所有229名被告提起诉讼，而另一项则建议驳回所有投诉。

还有第三种选择。专员们可以分案处理，只将部分人员送上法庭。但这样做会立即让每一项排除决定都受到严格审查。帕里特和英奇普都已明确表示过这一点。

周一早上，双方阵营已然分明。警察严阵以待，守候在选举委员会总部外。民间团体翘首以盼选举结果。反对派正摩拳擦掌，准备发起下一轮议会攻势。

最重要的是，英奇普直接向委员会提出了公布新证据的可能性。帕里特则将议会和即将到来的不信任辩论抛诸脑后。两人都没有表示这场争端会以解雇告终。

七位委员原定于上午10点开始会议。选举委员会承诺下午3点公布决定。
