In a substitute listing, the Election Commission validated 200 senators-elect candidates and 99 other prospects on Wednesday.
At 9 a.m., the committee held a meeting to discuss the confirmation. The closed-door meet ended at 2.30pm.

The three-stage Senate vote was concluded on June 26 when 2, 989 individuals entered the national-level vote, during which they voted for their favorite prospects in Nonthaburi state.
The new Senate will have 200 representatives from 20 different industries, replacing the 250 defense junta-appointed lawmakers whose terms ended on May 10 and had already expired.

They will continue to participate in the act of regulations and the law as well as the passage of legislation. Additionally, lawmakers may appoint people of independent organizations and evaluate the performance of the executive branch.
In a press conference on Wednesday night, EC Secretary-General Sawaeng Boonmee stated that the election was impartial and that the EC had made the decision to confirm the results as soon as possible so that the fresh Senate may commence operations.
Senators-elect may obtain written credentials at the legislature on Thursday and Friday, he said.
