A campaign led by a group of academics is calling for the support of senators for the political party that secures the most House seats in Sunday’s election, in hopes to establish a new government efficiently.

 

The public can contribute their views on this initiative from midday on Monday until midday Wednesday by voting through the QR code provided by the campaign. The results will be publicly announced at 1:30pm on Wednesday, according to Prinya Thaewanarumitkul, a law lecturer at Thammasat University.

 

Intended as a virtual public forum, the campaign aims to emphasise that no organisation should have the ability to distort public consensus for the benefit of particular parties. This message is reinforced by Phichai Ratnatilaka Na Bhuket from the National Institute of Development Administration (NIDA), who voiced concerns that the Election Commission, appointed by the 2014 coup-installed Senate, was being meddled with.
