VARUTH HIRUNYATHEBThe Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) has asked Election Commission (EC) officials to provide additional statements to support allegations of interference by observers during the vote-counting process in Bangkok's Khannayao district on Feb 22. The EC claimed such actions interfered with its work as the poll organiser. Separately, Senator Nantana Natavaropas said the EC is engaging in a strategic lawsuit against public participation (SLAPP). She said the problems observed during the election process were the result of the agency's incompetence and inefficiencies. "The EC can try to silence the people, but their voice will only become louder."
