Nantana Nantavaropas (Thai: นันทนา นันทวโรภาส)[a] is a Thai academic and politician, serving as a Member of the Senate of Thailand since 2024.[1][2][3] She previously served as dean of the Political Communication College at Krirk University.[4]
Career
Nanthana was elected in the 2024 Thai Senate election as a representative of the media professional group.[5][6] As a senator-elect, she called for an investigation into the election into allegations of vote-rigging, leading a group of 100 unsuccessful candidates.[5][7] She is described as a New Generation senator, not a part of the Bhumjaithai-aligned faction.[8]
On 2 September 2024, she made a motion in the Senate to launch a probe into comments made by Udom Sittiwirattham, Justice of the Constitutional Court of Thailand, about the dissolution of the Move Forward Party.[9]
Following her election, Nantana accused fellow members of the Senate of colluding with the Bhumjaithai Party.[4][10] She opposed the proposed renovation to the Parliament building.[11]
