People's Party urges SSO to drop voting planSahassawat Kumkong (photo from his X account)People's Party (PP) MPs have demanded action from the Social Security Office (SSO) after more than 90% of respondents rejected the proposed "one person, one vote" rule for electing members of the Social Security Board (SSB). The party's MP for Chon Buri's Constituency 7, Sahassawat Kumkong, on Saturday commented on the results of a public hearing on a proposed new election formula for the SSB. Apart from the proposed voting formula for employee representatives, 80% of respondents also disagreed with the contribution requirements for voting eligibility, which determine who can vote. Meanwhile, PP list MP-elect Rukchanok Srinork said the consultation results clearly showed that most insured workers rejected the proposed election rules. She asked why the SSO secretary-general remained hesitant to state the agency's position when insured workers had already expressed their will.
