Allegations of corruption and fraud regarding the Thai Senate election process have drawn criticism from members of the People's Party. Pantil Nuamjoem, a Bangkok MP, warned that the Election Commission of Thailand (ECT) might fail to uncover the true masterminds behind the alleged scheme, potentially only prosecuting a small number of individuals rather than the entire network of organizers.

Following these concerns, People's Party leader Natthaphong Ruengpanyawut criticized the Department of Special Investigation (DSI) for its intention to sue individuals who leaked investigation documents. Natthaphong suggested these legal actions could be an attempt to silence those revealing the truth and urged the ECT to fulfill its role of forwarding evidence to the Supreme Court without misusing its authority.
