A group of reserve senators gathers at the Election Commission on May 21, 2025, to urge it to transfer the senatorial election collusion case to the Supreme Court. Sixteen months later, the EC is finally preparing to take a vote on whether it believes there are grounds for prosecution. (Photo: Pattarapong Chatpattarasill)
