Anti-gov senator claims 104 members of upper chamber against amnesty bill

The Group of 40 Senators claimed Tuesday that 104 senators have decided to vote against the amnesty bill.

Paibul Nititawan, a member of the group, said his group had sounded out opinions of other senators and found out that 37 elected senators and 67 appointed senators would vote against the bill.
But he admitted that the stand of these senators could still be changed as the government was lobbying senators to support the amnesty bill.
