- Bhumjaithai Party spokesperson Nan Bunyadhira Somchai responds to Sirichok Sopha's remarks regarding MP donations.
- The party confirms that donations made by Suchada Sangthanteph are deducted directly from parliamentary salary accounts.
- The spokesperson noted that as a former MP, Sirichok should be well-acquainted with donation procedures.
On October 15, 2026, Ms. Nan Bunyadhira Somchai, spokesperson for the Bhumjaithai Party, addressed statements made by Mr. Sirichok Sopha, who raised questions regarding the Election Commission's investigation into the origins of donations made to the Bhumjaithai Party by Ms. Suchada Sangthanteph, an MP for Chaiyaphum.
The inquiry followed a review of the family's assets and liabilities conducted by the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC). In response, the Bhumjaithai Party spokesperson asserted that it is standard practice for party MPs to make donations by having funds deducted directly from the accounts provided by the Secretariat of the House of Representatives.
She explained that these contributions are entirely voluntary, intended to fund party activities and operations. Furthermore, she expressed that given Mr. Sirichok's background as a former Member of Parliament who has previously made political donations, he should already be familiar with how these financial procedures are handled.
"MPs have the amount deducted directly and sent to the party."

When repeatedly asked to confirm whether the funds donated by Ms. Suchada were legitimately acquired, Ms. Nan reaffirmed firmly that the contributions originate strictly from official parliamentary salary deductions.
The scrutiny of political donations by regulatory bodies like the NACC and the EC forms a crucial part of financial transparency frameworks in politics. Publicly detailing whether funds originate from transparent sources such as official salaries helps political parties address public concerns and maintain accountability.
