People's Party leader Natthaphong Rueangpanyawut welcomed the Supreme Court ruling allowing citizens to file corruption complaints against the Election Commission and its secretary-general with the Criminal Court. He said the decision opens a legal pathway for the public to hold political office-holders accountable and revealed the party's legal team is studying whether the precedent can be applied to the House Speaker. Natthaphong plans to submit a formal petition seeking an investigation of the House Speaker at 9:30 a.m. on November 9, 2026, at Parliament. Speaking in his capacity as opposition leader in the House of Representatives, Natthaphong explained that the Supreme Court president's ruling enables aggrieved citizens to bring cases against the EC and its secretary-general for corruption and misconduct. He added that the House Speaker's case is currently under review by the party's legal team to determine if the same legal reasoning can be extended to other political office-holders.
