Petition the Election Commission to investigate the election of the Mayor of Ratchaburi Provincial Administrative Organization, suspected of corruption.

"Lawyer Aun" brings evidence to file a complaint with the Election Commission to investigate the facts of the election of the Mayor of Ratchaburi Provincial Administrative Organization, which is suspected of corruption. He suggests that the solution is to have a new election. He insists that the People's Party is a good party and has no money to buy votes. Mr. Phattharapong Suphaksorn, or Lawyer Aun Buriram, submitted a letter to the Secretary-General of the Election Commission to investigate the facts of the election of the Mayor of Ratchaburi Provincial Administrative Organization, claiming that there may have been fraud in this election, so he asked the EC to suspend the certification of the election results. Lawyer Aun stated that local people had sent evidence in the form of envelopes of money that they claimed to have received from vote canvassers, along with a detailed message saying, 'Number 2, 200 baht each. Most of the people who walked were village headmen and village elders, so they had acquaint ances walk the envelopes.' In addition, there was evidence in the form of messages sent by good citizens, such as, 'I'm from Ratchaburi, I've already received 200 baht.' Mr. Phattharapong revealed that the last election for the president of the Provincial Administrative Organization of Ratchaburi was talked about in many dimensions. It was said that the election might not be honest and fair. The mechanism of village leaders such as kamnans, village headmen, and village health volunteers came to be vote canvassers and distributed money to the villagers. After the election, this matter was widely exposed on social media. However, it is strange that the chairman and secretary-general of the EC said that there was no corruption, even though before this, he had received evidence from citizens who sent it via online channels, saying that he had received 200-300 baht, with an attached evidence in the form of an envelope of money. There was also evidence that he had received, which was a picture of the vote counting at the polling station. If you look at it from your eyes, you will see that No. 1, the Prachachon Party, was leading by two points, but in the end, when the vote counting was complete, No. 2 won by 4 points. Mr. Phatthapong said that he personally believes that the Prachachon Party is the victim because it sent candidates to compete for positions. At present, they are likely collecting evidence, including evidence from social media and CCTV footage that someone previously revealed, showing that vote canvassers had handed out money to people's homes. 'The people who were most affected by this incident are probably the candidates from the Prachachon Party who got the second-highest votes. However, I would like the EC to announce the suspension of the PAO presidents and suspend them from performing their duties, such as the case of Uncle Chan, the PAO of Pathum Thani, who was indicted by the NACC. However, in the case of the Ratchaburi PAO, someone has already filed a lawsuit and the court has accepted the law suit. We will have to keep an eye on this matter. I hope that the EC will not end with a yellow or red card. Therefore, the EC's solution in this matter is to issue a yellow card and announce a new election, just like the election of the PAO of Pathum Thani,' said Mr. Phattharapong. Mr. Phatthapong is still not confident that the Election Commission will be able to investigate and prosecute this matter, so he has a plan B: after this, he will submit a complaint to the Ministry of Interior and the Office of the Attorney General because before this, Mr. Wivat Nitikanchana or Kamnan Tui had a complaint to investigate and is currently in the NACC. According to the record of the Council of State, local leaders who have complaints will be ordered to stop performing their duties first and cannot perform any duties. When asked about the social media saying that the People's Party also buys votes, Mr. Phatthapong said that he personally thinks that the People's Party's vote buying is ridiculous and absolutely imposs ible. As someone who used to work with the first version of the orange party, the Future Forward Party, where would they get the money to buy them? They wouldn't buy them. When asked again whether he was certain that the Prachachon Party did not buy votes, Mr. Pattarapong said that when asked where the money came from, the candidates themselves were not rich or heirs of big families. When asked who the money would come from, Mr. Thanathorn? They said that Mr. Thanathorn would die of stinginess, so he saw no way that the Prachachon Party would buy votes. When asked again whether the candidate was not an ordinary businessman, Mr. Phattharapong said that he did not know, but according to the basic practices of the Som-or Party from versions 1-3, they did not have such issues. However, he did not know who the candidate was or what. However, if he secretly went to buy votes, and if there was evidence, he should bring it. However, even if the number 1 candidate did not win the election, if you went to buy votes, it was wrong and you would be punished. Personally, he believed that this story was probably baseless and was just fake news. Source: Thai News Agency
