Politics Thai Senate Election Scandal: 229 Accused of Vote-Rigging
Photo courtesy of Thai PBS World An investigative panel has recommended prosecuting 229 individuals, including Bhumjaithai Party executives, for alleged widespread vote-rigging during Thailand’s Senate election last year. The Election Commission (EC) must now consider these recommendations and may approach the Constitutional Court to potentially dissolve the Bhumjaithai Party. The accused include 138 sitting senators and 91 individuals connected to the Bhumjaithai Party, encompassing both executives and affiliates. This panel, formed by representatives from the EC and the Department of Special Investigation (DSI), put forward these recommendations on 17th July, following independent investigations into the alleged electoral misconduct. Upon examining the evidence, the committee concluded that sufficient grounds existed to suggest the accused facilitated the election of senators through dishonest means. The alleged actions violate Section 113 of the constitution, which mandates that senators remain independent and uninfluenced by political parties. Bhumjaithai, led by Anutin Charnvirakul, has consistently denied any involvement in manipulating the June 2024 election outcome. With the investigation entering its second phase, the EC is set to receive the findings for further analysis by investigators, who will then report to key officials, such as the EC's secretary general or deputy. Controversy has arisen over the involvement of EC Secretary General Sawaeng Boonmee in the case, given his previous role as national director of the 2024 poll, raising concerns about potential conflicts of interest. Consequently, authority will be delegated to one of his deputies. Since March, the investigations have targeted a group of senators known as the "blue bloc," closely linked to Bhumjaithai, which was recently the second-largest party in the government coalition. The results of the Senate vote on 26th June last year revealed surprising outcomes, notably an unusual concentration of winners in provinces where Bhumjaithai enjoys significant support. Particularly striking was the election of 14 senators from Buriram, the largest from any province. Buriram is known as the stronghold of Newin Chidchob. Despite holding no official position and having claimed political retirement, Chidchob is believed to wield considerable influence within the Bhumjaithai Party. With tension mounting, the EC’s imminent decision will be closely watched. Should the case advance to the Constitutional Court, it could lead to the disbandment of Bhumjaithai, profoundly reshaping Thailand’s political landscape. The developments underscore the growing scrutiny over electoral processes in Thailand, as the country navigates complex political dynamics. With charges recommended and allegations mounting, this unfolding story is one to watch in the coming weeks. As events progress, the outcome could significantly impact Thai political alliances and governance. Stay tuned as we follow this story closely, providing updates on key developments and decisions affecting Thailand’s political future. Adapted by ASEAN Now from The Thaiger 2025-07-18 -

Report Swede, Aussie Found Dead Hours Apart in Same Pattaya Condo
You do the same sh*t so don't go there. I defend myself against unstable people that gang up, actually thinking they're proving anything besides their ignorance. This started with talk about a pizza, and Smiai can't let it go. Another calls me delusional, yet he can't say why besides his own opinion, which means nothing. Another changes usernames like changing underwear. Why is that? Easy to understand, yet it's over his head. I know, and I'm sure most here do also. You get thumbs down on every post. Why is that? Again, we all know, and I'm not answering for anyone because everyone sees the responses to your posts and replies. Defending myself against insults from the weak minded petulants who think they're something besides cowards is what I do. Look at your own actions before you judge mine. -

USA CBS Drops Bombshell: Stephen Colbert's 'Late Show' to End in 2026
Not just producers . They get their lefty talking points from higher up, then all the writers make the insinuendo and jokes. Behind all those hosts are many writers. I thought Jay Leno was balanced , even on NBC. But looking back some shows I've kept of Leno , Ferguson and Conan, I see the centre/lefty bias that I didn't see 10 years ago or more. But nothing compared to those 3 (fallon/colbert/kimmel). -
