Pheu Thai Party has conceded defeat in the by-election of the Constituency 6 after seeing its candidate lost more than 10,000 votes when votes counting nearly finished.
Wicharn Meenachaiyanun, a Pheu Thai MP of the Constituency 6, announced the accepting of the defeat on stage. Accompanying him was Jatuporn Prompan, also Pheu Thai MP, who was charged of terrorism charge for leading red shirts protests at Rajprasong area. He was not arrested because he has parliamentary immunity. After the immunity ended, he surrendered to police and was freed on bail.
