The Election Commission made the change to the lese-majeste rules part of its strategy software in the May 2023 election, according to a plea that the Constitutional Court has rejected.
The court on Wednesday overwhelmingly voted to reject Thoranit Mansri’s complaint.
The applicant had asked the court to act on whether Area 49 of the Constitution had been violated by the EC for not preventing Move Forward’s campaign to amend Section 112 of the criminal code, the least-majeste rules.
The agency’s silence was equivalent to dereliction of duty as it could be seen as supporting the group’s shift to overthrow the democratic king, Mr Thoranit alleged.
The jury partially rejected the plea on technical grounds, claiming that the petitioner’s supporting evidence did not support the petitioner’s request for a court order under Part 49. Thus, it was not considered a legitimate complaint under Area 49, ruled the courtroom.
Since the Election Commission finally submitted its own issue to the Constitutional Court on March 12th of this year, the topic may be moot in any case. It cited the judge’s earlier ruling against the group’s plan on the der- majeste law.
The primary opposition group, according to the EC, was violating Section 92 of the political party natural laws. The Constitutional Court is empowered to break any political party that threatens the democratic monarchy as outlined in the area.
On January 31, the jury unanimously decided that Move Forward must stop all Part 112 amendment efforts, and that campaigning on the subject is seen as an attempt to overthrow the constitutional monarchy.
The group has received a last date of June 2 to file a defense in the case.
