Nanthana Backs Lawyer Aun in Collecting 20 Senate Signatures to Petition Constitutional Court on Election Nullification

At 11:00 AM on February 17, 2024, at the Parliament, Phattharaphong Suphaksorn (Lawyer Aun from Buriram) submitted a letter to Nanthana Nantavarobes, a senator, requesting the Senate to refer the matter to the Constitutional Court to determine the election's validity. Phattharaphong stated he has doubts about the February 8 election's legality, with Thai people observing it may be the most fraudulent election since 1957. He is pursuing various channels, including the Election Commission, with the fastest route being gathering 20 senators to petition the Constitutional Court to interpret whether the election was fair and conducted according to constitutional secrecy requirements. Nanthana described the election as the 'dirtiest in Thai political history' since 1957, highlighting issues including voter card irregularities, prolonged vote counting, and 5,000 reported irregularity cases. She emphasized significant concerns about barcode tracking potentially compromising voting secrecy, which violates constitutional and international human rights principles.
