Thai Constitutional Court Dissolves Election-Winning Move Forward Party

The ruling bans party leaders from politics for a decade, citing threats to the monarchy, and sparks concerns over democratic erosion.

  • Move Forward Party's proposal to amend lese majeste laws led to its dissolution by the court.
  • Party leaders, including Pita Limjaroenrat, are banned from political activity for 10 years.
  • The decision nullifies the votes of 14 million citizens and has drawn international concern.
  • Move Forward's predecessor, Future Forward, was similarly dissolved in 2020.
  • Critics argue the ruling reflects ongoing efforts by conservative forces to maintain power.
