In response, Ms. Tisana Choonhavan took to her personal Facebook page to fire back at the party's announcement, questioning the timing of their invitation and declaring that it is already too late. She accused the party of intentionally violating her dignity and protecting the perpetrator.
"It is too late! You chose to intentionally trample upon my dignity and protect the wrongdoer."

Tisana launched a four-point rebuttal against the party's move, firmly stating that she had already explained everything to the party executives in the past. Despite her previous accounts, she claimed no one took action, allowing the alleged perpetrator to continue running as a member of parliament, highlighting ongoing concerns regarding internal accountability.
Allegations of sexual harassment within political organizations serve as a major test of ethical standards and institutional accountability. The clash between former party members and current representatives highlights the growing pressure on political parties to handle internal grievances transparently, moving beyond standard administrative reviews to restore public trust.
