Opposition Leader Calls for Verification of Viral 7 Million Baht Allegation
Nattaphong Ruangpanyawut, leader of the People's Party, has urged caution regarding a viral social media post alleging a 7 million baht bribe involving Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul.
On October 26, 2026, Nattaphong Ruangpanyawut, leader of the People's Party, addressed reports circulating on social media regarding a viral Facebook post from the page 'Godd Dam.' The post featured an image of a bank transfer slip for 7 million baht, alleging the funds were a bribe paid to Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Anutin Charnvirakul.
Speaking at the Parliament, Nattaphong requested that the public and party members refrain from spreading the unverified information until a thorough investigation is conducted. He emphasized that his party is committed to accountability and will scrutinize the facts behind the claim. Nattaphong noted that the rapid spread of the post reflects a broader issue of public distrust in the current government’s transparency.
For residents and observers, this incident highlights the ongoing political tension and the sensitivity of corruption allegations in the digital age. While the opposition leader has promised to look into the matter, the authenticity of the transfer slip remains unconfirmed. Nattaphong cautioned against jumping to conclusions, stating that any investigation must be based on deep, factual evidence rather than online speculation. As of now, no official response has been issued by the Prime Minister’s office, and the validity of the document remains the primary point of uncertainty.
