Supreme Court Removes 2 MP Candidates from Thai Kla Mai and Palang Pracharath Parties Due to Fraud Convictions

On February 6, 2026, the Supreme Court's Election Case Division published a ruling to remove two parliamentary candidates from two political parties from the election candidate list. 1. Nattapong Sarote, a candidate from Surat Thani's 6th district for Thai Kla Mai Party, was removed due to previous final court judgments for fraud and embezzlement. Court documents from Surat Thani Provincial Court show Nattapong was a defendant in two criminal cases, with convictions involving property fraud. 2. Sithi Sopasing, a candidate from Amnat Charoen's 2nd district for Palang Pracharath Party, was removed due to a final court judgment of joint fraud. Both candidates are now prohibited from running in parliamentary elections according to Thai constitutional regulations.
