EC urged to probe suspected cheats in selection of senators

 

 

The Election Commission has been told to investigate suspected cheats in the selection of senators in Bangkok on Thursday.

 

In a statement addressed to the EC today, PNET, a non-governmental organization focusing on strengthening local networking on democracy and electoral processes, said that during the selection of senatorial candidates at national level which was held at Muang Thong Thani conference hall on Thursday, its volunteers found one candidate with a poster hung on his back, showing his number, name and the group that he represented.

 

The candidate whom PNET did not identify was seen strolling around the conference room and talking with other candidates as well as some media members in a way resembling campaigning for support which is deemed a violation of regulation which forbids senatorial candidates from campaigning.

EC members should be the next to be impeached for dereliction of duty.  

Hire ladyboys to probe...root out any senators with less than honorable intentions.

Maybe their intentions would remain honorable at the thought of being rooted by some ladyboys.

Guessing the guy in the wheelchair did not arrive by skytrain !

Subtle signs of change....take cover folks.

Just as the NACC investigated the watch case eh...

Another subliminal wag-the-dog scenario....

 

More mused trivial fodder for the falsely anxious and concerned.

Shameful behaviour.

 

Meanwhile, the PM has been on a publicly funded extended campaign tour of the Kingdom, which started well before the other politicians were even allowed to begin their campaigning.

 

 

Cheating, didn't know there were any nasty dishonest Farangs trying to be elected.

I wish but sadly not...do not underestimate the apathy and complete disinterest of the local populace.

 

These guys are here to stay now and nothing will change it...it is tempting to have a flicker of hope but it will never happen. The locals do not have the slightest hint of any backbone whatsoever.

This is peanuts compared to the whole process of selection which is in essence rigged by the Junta.

Yep, but even with this process, which is a smokescreen, they still couldn't play by their own rules. Hillarious.

Some goose wandering around with a sandwich board over his shoulder with his name and number on it and chatting up the media and hoping he won't be noticed by the spies. Thai politics, unbelievable! 

Goose and gander are not the same
