| - Senate elections were held in Thailand on 2 March 2008, the first under a new constitution. Voter turnout was 56%. Results were expected on 9 March 2008. 76 candidates were elected, one for each province, while 74 senators will be appointed by a selection panel headed by the Constitution Tribunal's president . Nominations for these seats were made by professional groups between 13 January and 18 January 2008, whereafter a panel appointed by the Electoral Commission vetted the nominees' credentials before forwarding the nominations to the selection panel. The Thai Election Commission endorsed the 74 senators selected from the nominations. The senators will serve six-year terms. The appointed senators are considered to be closer to the outgoing military administration, while among the elected senators a substantial number are closely connected to deposed former PM Thaksin. A prominent critic of Thaksin and anti-corruption activist also appeared to have been elected. (en)
