Somchai exposes secret docs on 229 Senate collusion

Somchai has released extensive information from a document exceeding 200 pages, obtained from an insider within the Election Commission (EC) office. The document features an explicit internal-use-only watermark without any confidential stamps. This dossier sheds light on the inner workings of a 36-member subcommittee that previously voted to dismiss 229 petitions regarding alleged Senate election collusion. Somchai stated he will gradually release these findings for the public interest and to serve as recommendations for the seven EC commissioners.

Upon reviewing multiple meeting minutes, Somchai categorized the roles and structural composition of the personnel within the subcommittee. He detailed the names and respective responsibilities recorded in the official transcripts to provide the public with a clearer picture of the proceedings behind this major case.

• Chawana Traimas, former Secretary-General of the Constitutional Court, served as meeting chairman after being nominated by EC member Thitichet Nunart, rather than Pol. Capt. Piya Raksakul as previously reported.
• Anucha Chansuriya, nominated by EC President Itthiporn Boonpracong, played a leading role in the meetings, with his active participation recorded in every session contrary to the chairman.
• Only three sub-committee members actively questioned and discussed matters: Assathaidh Ratanadilok na Phuket, Nanthasak Poolsuk, and Anucha Chansuriya.
• The remaining four sub-committee members—Chawana Traimas, Decha Phuekphatthanarak, Thatchasakon Phromchamat, and Pol. Capt. Piya Raksakul—hardly appeared in the minutes offering opinions or feedback, yet fully participated in the voting stages.

Although each meeting lasted approximately three hours, the minutes recorded minimal engagement from the four mentioned subcommittee members, showing virtually no recorded questions, debates, or suggestions. Somchai concluded by noting that part two of his disclosures will uncover the exact methods and procedures utilized in reviewing these legal files.
