Meet Seri Nuwong, Candidate No. 16, the labour lawyer behind the Central Administrative Court order that shook the entire SSO Board election process

40 years on the path of labour rights — Seri Nuwong, Candidate No. 16, labour lawyer, former labour union leader, fighter for insured workers' rights

Among more than 50 candidates for the insured-worker faction, one name has stood out especially over the past few weeks — Seri Nuwong, Candidate No. 16, a labour lawyer with over 40 years of experience in this field, who used his legal knowledge to challenge an election requirement he considered unfair. His case led the Central Administrative Court to suspend the registration requirement, which in turn caused the entire election process to be postponed.

⚖️ 40 Years in the Labour Field

🎓
Labour Law Practitioner
Graduated with a Bachelor of Laws from Dhurakij Pundit University. Spent decades in human-resources management and practicing law in defense of workers' rights.
Former Labour Leader
Served as president of a labour union (1978-1987) and as a Minimum Wage Committee member at the Ministry of Interior, and is the founder of the National Confederation of Employees' Councils of Thailand.
🏛️
Plaintiff in Case No. 1320/2569
Filed suit at the Central Administrative Court, arguing that the election registration process — which required voters to pre-register before they could vote — was unfair and restricted the rights of insured persons, who should be eligible to vote immediately once they meet the legal qualifications. The court agreed and ordered the requirement's enforcement suspended. Read the full case details →

Seri Nuwong is running on a pledge to "serve with honesty and integrity, and protect the rights of insured persons," bringing his legal knowledge and decades of labour-rights advocacy to the board. He stands as another example of an independent candidate with a genuinely strong track record of fighting for workers' rights.

🤝 A Statement from Boon Arayapon (Independent Candidate No. 2)

As an independent candidate for the insured-worker faction, Boon Arayapon (D.V.M., LL.B.) wishes to express his deep respect and admiration for the fighting spirit of Seri Nuwong, Candidate No. 16.

The fact that an independent candidate stood up and used his legal expertise to challenge an unfair system — leading the Administrative Court to suspend the registration requirement — is a clear example that the power of independent candidates who refuse to bow to unfair rules can create real, meaningful change for all insured persons.

ℹ️ An important clarification: Being mentioned together in this article does not mean these two candidates have formed a team or are campaigning jointly — Boon Arayapon continues to use his "Bullet Vote No. 2 Only" strategy as before. Both independent candidates continue to campaign separately and independently.

In this election, each insured person may vote for up to 7 candidates. For anyone researching independent candidates with a genuine track record of working for insured persons' rights, both Seri Nuwong (No. 16) and Boon Arayapon (No. 2) stand out as candidates with a clear, demonstrated history of advocacy for insured workers.
