In a post to Facebook, Somchai Srisuthiyakorn pointed to the 2014 case in which the Constitutional Court ruled that an election was unconstitutional due to the dysfunction at some application stations. At the time, demonstrations by the People’s Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC) were taking place in Bangkok and several other provinces. The protesters besieged some application stations, making it impossible for candidates to apply to run in the election. As a result, the February 2 general election could not be held successfully in some areas and the Constitutional Court declared the election illegal. However, Somchai said the EC was ready to cooperate with the law and would not petition its constitutionality.
