Senators may file corruption watchdog complaint against the EC

13 Sept 13:54 Key points summarised by AI

A group of senators is considering filing a complaint with the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) against the Election Commission (EC).
The potential complaint stems from the EC serving summonses by attaching them to senators' home doors, instructing them to report by May 19th to acknowledge electoral collusion charges.
Senator Sorachart Wichayasuwanprom, a recipient of such a summons, views this method as an attempt to discredit him and an unconventional practice, suggesting the EC typically sends letters by post first.
Sorachart believes the EC is under pressure from the Department of Special Investigation (DSI) to take legal action against senators suspected of electoral collusion.
Summonses have been issued to an initial 53 senators, referred to as the “Blue” faction, as part of a DSI investigation into over 100 senators.
