    Even before the main vote a trigger has been put in place to void a PP victory.

    The status quo must be maintained, at any cost, even if that includes the collapse of Thailand. Just reading recent Thai economic articles in the media informs one of the serious situation in the cou

Both the election commission and the Senate are incredibly corrupt organizations, and let us hope if People Power win this time they don't try to steal the election again, and continue pretending that Thailand is a functional democracy.

She who must be obeyed came back from voting and said she heard the army tried to force cadets to turn up today (8th) for military training (Ror Dor).

Sounds like a rumour but it also seems like the elite are unpopular.

Probably blame the Tourists for the stolen errr rigged err we didn't get in. Who can we blame.

Some may say that these anomalies have been proved specifically to cause the ellection to be void knowing pp would win a majority.

Well it appears the people have spoken and the "peoples party" turned out not to be that popular after all, Oh dear what a pity never mind ,

Nothing will happen as the election provided the desired result....

Sadly do you want to bet. These old dinosaurs are working so hard to avoid extinction which is inevitable.

BANGKOK — 9 February 2026, Thailand’s National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) has ruled that 44 former lawmakers from the dissolved Move Forward Party committed serious ethical violations over their role in proposing amendments to the Criminal Code’s Section 112, the lese-majeste law.

The commission voted to substantiate the case against the former MPs, who were accused of breaching or failing to comply with severe ethical standards after jointly signing a bill to amend Section 112. The case will now be forwarded to the Supreme Court for further proceedings.

O course the BJT government must be protected so minimalize the opposition.... I predicted that the verdict would be done after the elections. It is sad that art 112 is abused by the officials to get rid of the opposition members. NACC and EC are so corrupt too, as we noticed in these elections.. How is it possible that the candidates list is changing after the pre election and an evening before the big election??? What happened with all the votes of the pre election that voted for these candidates?? The elections should be nulled

Assoc Prof Suriya Sai Katasila, Dean of the College of Leadership and Social Innovation at Rangsit University, said the EC’s shortcomings have seriously damaged public trust. He warned that if courts later find the election was not conducted honestly or officials acted without neutrality, the entire poll could be declared void. He cited the 2006 election, which the Constitutional Court annulled over procedural violations, as a precedent.

As we know, the 2006 elections were violently opposed by the yellow shirts and the parties that represented their views boycotted the poll. I think we can safely assume, since the establishment's party has been the victor there will be no disolution of the victor's party and no annuling of the election - no matter what, if any, irregularities are found.
