Thai Liberal party leader Sereepisuth Temeeyaves accused a candidate in Lampang's Constituency 4 by-election of vote buying, claiming to possess evidence including a name card.
Sereepisuth, campaigning for his party's candidate Detthawee Srivichai, stated he would submit all evidence of alleged election fraud to the Election Commission after the by-election.
The by-election, set for tomorrow, is a significant contest between Detthawee Srivichai of the Thai Liberal party and Wattana Sitthiwang, whose previous victory in the constituency was nullified by a 'yellow card' from the Election Commission.
