Natthaphong Urges EC to Send Senate Collusion Case to Court

Natthaphong revealed during the former opposition leader forum in the House of Representatives that such a component is crucial for voicing the desire for a democratic political system rather than an authoritarian regime where a small group of individuals attempts to monopolize power across the country, a goal that all parties should actively push forward together.

Furthermore, Natthaphong addressed concerns raised by various analysts who suggested that holding wrongdoers accountable in the Senate collusion case is extremely difficult and nearly impossible. This is because four out of seven members of the main Election Commission (EC) board were chosen by the current batch of senators, with several individuals also facing potential indictments in related files, raising direct questions of conflict of interest in expecting them to exercise authority impartially.

Nevertheless, Natthaphong expressed his belief that politicians have a duty to drive society forward and turn the impossible into something authorities cannot deny. Political work should not remain confined within traditional mindsets and boundaries, but must instead be continuously driven through public platforms to build societal pressure.

"The duty of the Election Commission is not to determine right or wrong, but the law clearly states that as long as there is reason to believe Senate fraud occurred, the EC's duty is to forward the case file to the Supreme Court."

Natthaphong further emphasized that the legal responsibility of the EC does not include making final rulings on guilt. Instead, whenever there is reasonable ground to believe that fraud has taken place, the mandate requires forwarding the dossier to the Supreme Court. He added that the schedule on September 14 will serve as an important opportunity to leverage public forums to push this matter forward.
