- Suphachai Jaismut counters Senator Nanthana Nanthavoraphas regarding an Orange Senate meeting.

- States his public remarks aim to defend Bhumjaithai Party members from Senate-rigging allegations.
- Urges public figures to welcome scrutiny and let the Election Commission handle legal procedures.
On July 30, 2026, list-MP and Bhumjaithai Party's legal committee chairman Suphachai Jaismut posted a statement on his Facebook profile Suphachai Jaismut addressing Senator Nanthana Nanthavoraphas. Suphachai noted that he had long been a fan of Nanthana's humorous talk show appearances from her satirical parliament days, asserting that she remains completely consistent in her speech regardless of her current status.
Suphachai clarified that his recent remarks were not made to defend any single individual, but rather to protect the Bhumjaithai Party and nine of its members after iLaw and opposition parties revived old accusations linking them to Senate-rigging. He questioned how the procedures followed by the People's Senator group—or the Orange Senators—differed from those accusations, pointing out that their steps from district to national levels followed the exact same pattern.
The controversy surrounding Senate selection methods and allegations of systematic coordination remains a critical flashpoint in Thai politics. Because the organic laws governing the Senate are intricate, disputes often spill over into formal complaints filed with the Election Commission (EC). Public spats between political operatives and sitting senators highlight the intense maneuvering for political legitimacy and narrative dominance.

Addressing the gathering of approximately 300 senators at the Jupiter Room in Muang Thong Thani, Suphachai noted that while the senators claimed they pooled their own money to cover venue and banquet costs, the information and evidence in his possession tell a different story. According to his records, the person who booked and paid for the event was connected to "Fa Diew Kan" (Same Sky), identifying the individual as a person named Hirun....
"I am not a docked-tail dog, nor do I see a tail on you, Senator. But certainly, I am not in your faction. If you are entirely pure and secured your Senate seat purely through popularity and your talk show fame without any orchestration, you have no need to panic. As a public figure, you must be ready for scrutiny and respect the decisions of authorized legal bodies. Let the legal mechanisms run their course and do not be so anxious."

In closing, Suphachai humorously added that he is a fan of the Harry Potter franchise and admires Professor Minerva McGonagall, whose appearance he likened to Senator Nanthana. He reiterated that individuals confident in their innocence should simply allow the EC's investigative processes to proceed without unnecessary agitation.
