People's Party Deputy Leader Responds to Investigation Request Regarding Proxy Voting Allegations
Sirikanya Tansakun of the People's Party has welcomed an investigation by the NACC and the Ministry of Interior into allegations of proxy voting by a party council member.
According to a report by Matichon Online on August 3, 2026, Sirikanya Tansakun, Deputy Leader of the People's Party (PChN), has publicly stated her willingness to cooperate with investigations regarding allegations of proxy voting involving a party member of the Bangkok Metropolitan Council (BMC).
The Democrat Party (PChP) has reportedly submitted a formal request to the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) and the Ministry of Interior to investigate the incident. Sirikanya emphasized that the party is prepared to enter any formal process to address these claims, maintaining that they are ready to face scrutiny.
For residents and expatriates in Thailand, this development highlights ongoing political oversight within the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration. While such administrative investigations are common in the Thai political landscape, they serve as a reminder of the rigorous standards expected of elected officials. At this stage, the investigation is in its preliminary phase. It remains to be confirmed whether the NACC or the Ministry of Interior will find evidence of wrongdoing or if the allegations will be dismissed following a formal review. Observers should monitor official announcements from these agencies for further updates on the status of the inquiry.
