On September 21, 2026, Senator Nanthana Nanthavaropas voiced strong frustration after the Election Commission (EC) disclosed resolution files from the Senate election investigation, specifically accusations 4-7. The documents revealed names of new-breed senators in an inquiry file separated from the main case, leaving her completely baffled as she was unaware of the allegations.
Nanthana stated that on September 21, she assigned Senator Tewarit Maneechai to act as the group's representative in submitting a formal inquiry letter to the EC headquarters. The move aims to demand clarification on why her name appeared in the files, emphasizing that standard protocol requires formal notification and a summons for questioning if someone becomes a suspect—neither of which ever occurred in her case.
"กกต. อย่าทำงานมั่ว เพราะคำร้องที่ถูกยกไปนั้นไม่มีที่มาที่ไป เหมือนพยามทำให้กลุ่มต่างๆ เหมือนกับ สว.กลุ่ม 229 คน ทั้งที่ไม่เหมือนกัน เนื่องจากไม่เคยถูกกล่าวหามาก่อน ไม่มีที่มาที่ไป ที่เขียนในเอกสารข่าวบอกแค่มาตรา แต่รายละเอียดไม่ชัดเจน"

Meanwhile, another senator whose name surfaced, Wuttipong, also denied attending any meetings at the Jupiter venue. He expressed frustration at being generalized as part of a collusion network, noting that his situation bears no resemblance to the controversial 229-senator group that previously made headlines.
This conflict between the new-breed senators and the Election Commission highlights ongoing friction regarding the oversight and integrity of the Senate selection process. The inclusion of lawmakers' names in dismissed inquiry files without prior notification raises serious questions about administrative transparency and due process, potentially prompting further legal actions to protect the reputations of those affected.
