The Constitutional Court will rule on August 7 in the case involving the Move Forward Party ( MPF ) dissolution.

The court sat on Wednesday to take into account the petition the political party secretary of the Election Commission (EC ) filed to request the breakdown of the MFP, which controls the parliament.

The applicant also requested that the court revoke the party executive’s right to contest elections and forbid them and those who lose those right from forming or serving on a new party’s administrative for ten years under Sections 92 and 94 of the natural laws on political parties.

The EC claimed in the complaint that the MFP had provided proof that the monarchy’s political system had been overthrown with the support of Oooh the King as head of state. &nbsp, The committee found the group’s activity hostile to the constitutional king.

The MFP’s efforts to alter Part 112 &nbsp, also known as the lese-majeste laws, indicated an intention to destroy the democratic king, according to the mandate court’s opinion released on January 31.

The court on Wednesday decided to end the reading after concluding that the case was involving legal issues and that there was sufficient evidence to support a decision. By July 24th, the MFP may send a written speech to the judge if it wanted to make a final statement.

The judge set for oral argument on August 7 for the event. &nbsp,

The judge also ordered the MFP to stop all attempts to modify Part 112, according to its findings on January 31. It said fighting on the matter was considered an attempt to end the democratic king and violated&nbsp, Section 49 of the law.

Any lese majoreste problem must be filed by the Royal Household Bureau, not by officials and others, according to the MFP’s proposed revisions. It even called for reduced words.

Proceed Forward has a sizable underclass and won the most seats and seats in the general election next year. Conservative lawmakers and military-appointed lawmakers prevented it from form a coalition government. Pheu Thai, the second-largest group, forged a deal with MFP and collaborated with former prime ministers to form the present ruling coalition.
