Thailand's Election Commission has referred a Senate vote-rigging case involving 77 suspects—26 of them serving senators from the Bhumjaithai-linked "blue camp"—to the Supreme Court. If convicted, these senators face disqualification and criminal penalties of up to 10 years; suspension could reduce their voting power and shift the balance of power in the 250-member chamber. The outcome hinges on whether the court accepts the case and finds sufficient evidence of illegal conduct.
