Senator Denies Involvement in Alleged Collusion with EC

Senator Wutthichai Kalyanamit has denied involvement in allegations that he colluded with the Election Commission and the Department of Special Investigation (DSI) to provide information, directly responding to opposition leader Prayut Chan-o-cha's accusations. Wutthichai stated he is ready to clarify and present relevant information to the media at an appropriate time and expressed uncertainty whether the DSI has formally requested his cooperation, noting that he feels he has been treated as a suspect throughout the process.

Wutthichai emphasized that advancing the nation requires respect for legal protocols and proper institutional procedures. He criticized the use of institutional reputation-damaging tactics over legitimate legal mechanisms, expressing concern that such actions may be designed to pressure independent bodies for political ends. He stressed that any corruption or illegal conduct, whether by the general public or by the Election Commission itself, must result in accountability.

As a senator, Wutthichai said he works to fulfill his duties in legislative review, government oversight, and considerations of independent agencies within constitutional boundaries. He stated he has endeavored to produce the best outcomes for the nation and people, while emphasizing that political maneuvering and power-seeking through various tactics are not his strength. "On every allegation that I have violated the law, I have already clarified the matter with the Election Commission and the DSI. I will only provide clarifications to competent authorities," Wutthichai concluded.
