Election Day “War Room” to deliver realtime results from 400 Constituencies nationwide
10 Sept 23:32Key points summarised by AI
The Digital Television Association, in collaboration with media and civil society partners, is launching an Election Day “War Room” to coordinate real-time election results from all 400 constituencies nationwide.
Based at Thai PBS, this initiative unites over 25 media organizations, civil society groups like iLaw and Vote62, and academic partners to ensure accurate, transparent, and credible reporting.
The War Room will function as a volunteer coordination center, connecting more than 10,000 volunteers to report vote counts directly from polling stations for continuous data aggregation and dissemination.
It will be open to local and international journalists, providing a central hub for monitoring results, exchanging information, and reporting on the election's national picture from February 8 until unofficial results are determined.
Nationwide crackdown launched on illegal nominee shareholders and land holdings
Yesterday 15:20Key points summarised by AI
Thailand's Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul initiated a nationwide crackdown on illegal Thai nominee shareholders in foreign-run businesses and land holdings to safeguard national interests.
The government will integrate efforts across all relevant agencies to target illicit foreign operations, forced sales of illegally acquired property, and high-risk land ownership schemes.
Key strategies include auditing suspect land and building holdings, establishing a long-term monitoring system, and cross-referencing data from various authorities to trace ultimate beneficial owners.
Prime Minister Anutin emphasized that no influential figures or corrupt officials are above the law, promising straightforward prosecution, asset seizures, and protection for enforcing officers.
Beyond land ownership, the integrated crackdown will also extend to tackle transnational crimes, including drug and human trafficking.
