Dr Keskamol’s ‘time is up’

Lawyer Phattarapong Supakson, 42, better known as “Aun’, has become a viral sensation overnight after revealing the Election Commission (EC) has decided to pursue criminal charges against Senator Keskamol Pleansamai, ruling that she attempted to mislead voters during her election campaign by falsely claiming to be a professor.

The EC has submitted the case to the Supreme Court's Election Division for consideration.

Mr Phattarapong — who lodged this complaint against Dr Keskamol — received notification of the EC’s decision on Saturday.

He said on Monday: “Her time is up” and insisted there was no reason for the EC to delay further action.

Mr Phattarapong said the EC concluded Dr Keskamol falsely claimed the title of “professor” in her application, which could constitute public deception and a violation of election laws.

The offence carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and a 20-year ban from voting.

The case has sparked widespread public interest, especially on social media, and his statements and updates on it have been widely shared. His rapid rise to prominence has made him a household name in legal and political circles.

Speaking to the Bangkok Post, Mr Phattarapong said he is set to unveil new evidence in what’s become widely known as the “Professor Kes” case tomorrow.
