Thaworn Senniam

Thaworn Senneam (Thai: ถาวร เสนเนียม) was a Thai politician and the country's Deputy Interior Minister. He has also served as Deputy Secretary General of the Democrat Party. Thaworn previously worked as a legal advisor to Secretary General Maj. Gen. Sanan Kachornprasart. Thaworn was accused in 2006 of encouraging protestors to prevent small opposition candidates from running in Thailand's April general elections.[1] The accusation was part of a larger election fraud case again the Democrats, their opponents the Thai Rak Thais, and several smaller political parties. The Constitutional Court of Thailand acquitted Thaworn and the Democrats of the charges, and ordered the dissolution of the Thai Rak Thais for conspiring to gain power by illegal means.[2]
