Election Commission Summons Social Media Influencer 'CK' for Alleged Voter Buying Post

On February 3, 2024, Election Commission Secretary Sawaeng Boonmee ordered an investigation into CK Cheong, CEO of Fastwork, an online freelance platform. The case stems from a Facebook post where CK claimed to have a conversation with his grandmother about receiving 2,000 baht to vote for a specific political party. The post sparked widespread online discussion, with netizens questioning the authenticity of the conversation and suggesting CK should report the alleged vote buying to police. Later, CK deleted the original post, leading some to speculate he might have fabricated the story to attack a political party.
