Summary
Speaking at parliament on Tuesday, Nantana said Mongkol should clarify whether he was the candidate shown in footage that appears to capture a participant handing a document to an Election Commission (EC) official during the national-level Senate vote held at Muang Thong Thani on June 26, 2024.
The footage was made public last week by People’s Party list-MP Parit Wacharasindhu, who said it was provided by a complainant in the Senate collusion case. Parit said his team’s review of seating arrangements and candidate records indicated that the candidate seen in the video was likely Mongkol.
