The Election Commission (EC) has unanimously resolved to ask the Constitutional Court to rule on Senator Thanagorn Thawornchinnachot's status, alleging he was unqualified to contest the Senate election.
Thanagorn's disqualification stems from a 2011 conviction for illegal bookmaking, leading the EC to also petition the Supreme Court to revoke his voting rights and demand the return of all senatorial salaries and benefits.
