The candidates in contention are: Takorn Tantasith, Ruangwit Katesuwan, Issaree Hancharoonroj, Chompan Pongcharoen Sutheerachat, Pracha Terat, Chatchai Chanpraisri and Pakorn Mahannop. They had made the final list from 41 candidates submitted in December.

Under the law, candidates who get a majority of votes would become new EC members. All seven candidates received below the required minimum of 125 of 248 votes and so failed to be selected.

The NLA will submit the results to a selection committee, which will start on a new round in the selection process.

The seven candidates are disqualified from being proposed for the new round.
