On September 16, 2026, Election Commissioner Sitthichot Intharawiset revealed details of the investigation into political collusion during the Senate election. He explained that the evidence against senior politicians was backed by witness testimony, verified voting lists, telephone records, financial connections, and subsequent actions.
The lists, compiled at gatherings in six provinces, listed candidates ranked from first to seventh, with those involved in creating them sharing the same political party and facing potential prosecution. Sitthichot emphasized that the evidence demonstrated a coordinated operation and should be evaluated as a whole rather than isolated incidents.
He also mentioned testimony from former Bhumjai Thai MP Ekkarat Changlao and ex-senator Direk Thungfang, linking their statements to alleged party meetings and a later Bangkok hotel gathering to choose Senate leaders.
