Statute of Limitations is Long! Peerapon Challenges Election Commission to Recount Nationwide, Warns of Potential Negligence

On February 10, 2026, Peerapon Saleerat, leader of the United Thai Nation Party, posted on Facebook raising concerns about potential irregularities in the February 8 general election. He highlighted multiple suspicious incidents, including unauthorized polling station relocations, improper vote counting, suspicious ballot marking, and reports of ballot box tampering. Video evidence emerged showing election officials handling large numbers of ballots in unclear circumstances, and some polling stations reportedly recorded more votes than actual voters. The iLaw human rights organization also noted discrepancies between recorded vote counts and official Election Commission announcements. Peerapon specifically mentioned a case in Chonburi's 1st district where election documents were found discarded in trash bins, reminiscent of historical election fraud. He warned the Election Commission that if they fail to take action, they may be accused of dereliction of duty, cryptically adding that 'the statute of limitations is long'.
