BANGKOK: The Constitutional Court ruled that there was no evidence that Phumtham and Tawee ordered the DSI to interfere in the EC’s probe into alleged Senate vote-rigging.

The Constitutional Court met on Wednesday (Jan 21) to vote on a petition filed by a group of senators—most of them aligned with the so-called “blue” bloc—who jointly submitted the complaint through the Senate president.
