(File photo: Government House)The Constitutional Court on Wednesday concluded its examination of six key witnesses in a case concerning alleged interference by former deputy prime minister and defence minister Phumtham Wechayachai and former justice minister Pol Col Tawee Sodsong in the Senate election collusion investigation. The court is scheduled to deliver its ruling on Jan 21. The case stems from a petition signed by 92 senators accusing the two former ministers in the Srettha Thavisin administration of abusing their authority by pushing for the alleged Senate collusion case to be handled as a special case by the DSI. The senators allege the ministers misused their power by employing the DSI as a tool to influence the Election Commission's investigation into alleged irregularities in the 2024 Senate election. After the conclusion of witness hearings yesterday, the court ordered both parties to submit their written closing statements by Jan 6, 2026.
