On Sunday, 13 September 2026, a sizable crowd assembled at the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre for an iLaw-led rally, urging the Election Commission (EC) to prosecute all 229 individuals implicated in the 2024 Senate election collusion case. The demonstration, titled "People Take Action: Prosecute 229," aimed to exert final public pressure before the EC's scheduled decision on 14 September.
Notable figures present included iLaw Executive Director Yingcheep Atchanont, People's Party leader Natthaphong Ruengpanyawut, and People's Party list MP Parit Wacharasindhu. They marched from iLaw's headquarters on Lat Phrao Road to the rally site, where they were greeted by a marching band. The demonstrators formed the number 229 using blue sheets on the ground, symbolizing the accused individuals and referencing the Bhumjaithai Party, which they suspect of involvement in the alleged collusion.
The event included music, satirical songs criticizing the EC and the "blue party," and distributed 2,229 copies of a tabloid alleging Senate election fraud, as well as campaign merchandise. Police from Pathum Wan Police Station monitored the event and maintained order. The EC is anticipated to announce its ruling on Monday, 14 September.
