She polled 118,332 votes, the fourth highest among candidates in Bangkok.

Her election, and that of the other winners, was never endorsed. The vote was nullified by the junta that staged a coup in September of that year.

Rosana is the director of the Confederation of Consumer Organisations, secretary-general of the Thai Holistic Health Foundation and manager of the Komol Kheemhong Foundation. She is a director of MCOT and a law-reform committee member.

Rosana was among those who gathered 50,000 signatures required to launch an investigation into the Bt1.4 billion Public Health Ministry drugs and medical supplies procurement scandal that lead to the investigation of former public health minister Rakkiat Sukthana for graft.

He was sentenced to 15 years in jail and had Bt233 million in assets seized.

Rosana was prominent in the anti-Thaksin Shinawatra movement.

She was a leader of the campaign against the privatisation of the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand. The campaign led to the Administrative Court nullifying its sale.

Another campaign against the listing of PTT led to the court last year splitting PTT's assets between the company and the government.

Rosana graduated in journalism and mass communications from Thammasat University. She has written and translated books on Buddhism, social work and members of the anti-corruption crusade.

She was a member of the National Economic and Social Advisory Council in 2006. The Social Venture Network honoured her this year.
