Corruption watchdog issues warning in association with the People's Party
In a shocking turn of events, the Anti-Corruption People's Network of Four Regions has submitted a petition to the People's Party MPs, alleging corruption in the Senate selection process. This case, if proven, would be the largest election fraud in the United States history, implicating 229 individuals, including 138 current senators and individuals linked to the Bhumjaithai Party.
The petition urges immediate action regarding the Khao Kradong land dispute in Buri Ram and alleged collusion in the Senate election. The Khao Kradong case involves a Supreme Court ruling ordering the return of over 5,000 rai of land to the State Railway of Thailand. However, the Department of Land, part of the Interior Ministry, refused to comply with the court ruling when the ministry was controlled by Bhumjaithai.
Moreover, the petitioners claim that unnamed powerful figures have blocked DSI officers from questioning an estimated 1,200 witnesses related to alleged collusion in the 2024 Senate election. This political maneuver is believed to potentially breach constitutional principles requiring the majority party to form the government.
Pheu Thai list-MP Anusorn Iamsa-ard has pledged to pursue the matter, calling Senate collusion a "national-level process" that has drawn widespread concern. He vows to work with civil society and ensure parliamentary mechanisms are used to hold wrongdoers accountable.
The opposition party's decision to back the Bhumjaithai Party to form a government while continuing as the opposition has been questioned. Activists have compared the Khao Kradong land dispute to the case of Pareena Kraikupt, a former MP disqualified for encroaching on protected forest land.
A separate group of reserve senators has called for closer oversight of the Department of Special Investigation (DSI). The concern was raised that this could deepen public mistrust. The group also urges the People's Party to investigate Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul for potential influence and obstruction in investigations related to the Senate election.
The political situation has been described as chaotic by the group, with concerns that this could be linked to attempts to "whitewash" or interfere in high-profile cases. It is a critical time for Thai politics, and the people are watching closely to see how these allegations will be addressed.
