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.
