On July 27, 2023, at 6:56 PM, Mr. Sahatwat Khumkhong, a Member of Parliament for Chonburi province from the People's Party, posted on his personal Facebook account regarding critical reports that the upcoming election for the Social Security board may face an indefinite postponement.
According to the information shared, the potential delay stems from a petition filed with the Administrative Court challenging the legality of the regulations concerning voter registration for the Social Security election. Consequently, the Social Security Office has reportedly taken this matter under consideration to decide whether to halt the election process until a judicial verdict is rendered.
The Social Security board plays a crucial role for millions of insured workers in managing the massive funds, benefits, and investments. Direct elections for employer and employee representatives are vital for ensuring transparency and democratic participation in fund management.
In light of these developments, the MP has strongly urged the Social Security Office to promptly issue an official explanation to the public to maintain transparency and ward off any public criticism or suspicion regarding potential political interference behind the postponement.
