On July 12, 2569 at Parliament, Priset Vachrasindhu, a Thai Raksa Chat Party MP and chairman of the opposition coalition coordination committee, spoke before launching a two-year commemoration event on Senate election fraud evidence. He argued that "Senate fraud" is a more accurate term than "Senate manipulation" because the evidence shows not merely coordinated candidate placement and vote-trading networks, but deliberate use of money and benefits to hire candidates and voters, aiming to seize state power.

Priset emphasized the case's critical importance for Thailand's political future, warning that those who gain power through improper means tend to abuse that power similarly. If certain senators entered office improperly, it raises questions about whether their legislative actions—including law review, constitutional amendment votes, and independent agency appointments—also constitute abuse of power.

He noted the 2560 Constitution created conditions enabling Senate fraud as a pathway to establishing a manipulated political system. When political groups use illegal methods to interfere with Senate elections, placing controllable members in office gives those groups the ability to dictate independent agency appointments and weaken oversight mechanisms.

Priset stated that multiple sectors have compiled evidence for the Election Commission (EC) and the Special Cases Inquiry Department (DSI). The EC must decide by September whether to refer the case to court following an investigative panel's finding of 229 suspects. The DSI has accepted it as a special case based on vote-buying and money-laundering charges.

He expressed concern that the case may not reach court. Four of seven EC commissioners are Senate-appointed, mostly from the government side. The EC's 36th subcommittee recently ruled that none of the 229 suspects had committed offenses—contrary to public sentiment. The DSI similarly concerns him: after prolonged investigation, it charged only eight people by late 2568, before prosecutors returned the case in early 2569.

Actress Gift Supichchaya, who plays younger sister Prao in the 7HD drama "Every Atom of Heart," shared her experience: "I play Proausa, the younger sister of Phaswat, played by Well Ditsayakorn. At first I was quite nervous, but after workshops and fittings, I became more familiar with it. As we filmed together, our chemistry grew stronger and I really felt Well was like a true older brother. There's one scene that particularly moved me where Proausa opens up to her brother. Well's eyes were so genuine that I thought if we had an older brother like that, we would love him so much."
