Dr Keskamol Pleansamai casts her vote for the Senate president at the first sitting of the newly elected upper house on July 23, 2024. The ruling also means that Dr Keskamol, 47, automatically loses her seat in the 200-member Senate. In one such message, she introduced herself as “Professor Dr Keskamol Pleansamai”, presenting herself as a specialist in mental health and aesthetic dermatology. The EC concluded that introducing herself as “Professor Dr” misled voters and gave Dr Keskamol an unfair advantage, violating Sections 62 and 77 of the organic law on the selection of senators. Dr Keskamol is also one of dozens of senators being investigated for collusion and vote-rigging in the 2024 poll.
