Several individuals who lost on Wednesday’s last vote in the Senate vote officially requested an investigation into what they thought was electoral fraud.
Surachai Pornjindachote, who is among the 100 potential competitors held in reserve in the event any of those who were prosperous in the vote are eventually disqualified, led a group of losing prospects in petitioning the EC against Wednesday’s results.
He claimed that it was strange for more than 20 members of the same professional organization he was a member of to cast their ballots for the same group of individuals.
On Wednesday, Mr. Surachai claimed a person who looked and acted like a tour guide led a number of individuals wearing related yellow shirts and black coats into the ballot location.
All of these abnormalities were undoubtedly captured on surveillance cameras at Muang Thong Thani, he claimed, so the EC was urged to investigate the video.
Additionally, he noted that some successful candidates have disclosed their educational backgrounds and labor histories, adding that the EC may have once more carefully considered these claims.
” From what I’ve observed, the EC must have missed some crucial details ]in the past qualification check on these candidates ]”, he said.
According to Mr. Surachai, some of his other losing individuals also filed a petition with the Supreme Court yesterday regarding the alleged election-rigging allegations.
You claimed to be aware of what was happening. But if in the conclusion no one is really caught]and punished for manipulating the election], that would mean you have failed to complete your task properly”, said Saharat Malasri, another losing candidate, referring to the EC.
More than 10 candidates in the same expert team of his, according to Mr. Saharat, were given no chance of receiving any votes even though they were only allowed to cast one ballot in the intra-group election.
He was prompted by this to believe that these individuals may have had a plan to support other individuals for reasons that merit the EC’s consideration.
Another class of losing candidates, who were all female, filed a separate petition asking for an EC investigation into some winning candidates, who, according to this team, had not met or introduced different candidates before voting in a semblance to what they saw at Wednesday’s vote.
