iLaw criticises EC over failure to broadcast senate election final vote

21 Sept 03:12 Key points summarised by AI

iLaw manager Yingcheep Atchanont criticized the Election Commission (EC) for not fulfilling its promise to live stream the final round of senatorial election voting.
Observers found the broadcast from the convention halls had no sound and only a single camera angle, making it impossible to follow score calling or counting.
Despite 20 CCTV cameras in the voting rooms, no proper live stream was provided, leaving approximately 1,000 observers unable to witness the process as publicly committed by the EC.

Thailand secured a US$200 million loan from the World Bank to significantly invest in clean energy and low-carbon urban development initiatives.
The program aims to drive clean energy funding and low-carbon growth, ensuring a just transition for small and medium-sized enterprises, workers, farmers, and local communities.
Channelled through the Export-Import Bank of Thailand, the loan will fund energy efficiency upgrades in public buildings and industrial areas, including rooftop solar installations and electrical system modernizations, reducing initial capital burdens via Energy Service Companies (ESCOs).
