In pending the Constitutional Court’s decision, which will determine the opposition’s fate regarding its effort to amend the lese majeste law, the Move Forward Party ( MPP ) has delayed the election of new executives.
The MFP convened its ministerial meeting in Bangkok tuesday, where people were told of the delay.
No new managers would be chosen until the court case was decided, group spokesman Parit Wacharasindhu announced as he walked out of the meeting.
Under Section 92 of the Political Parties Act, the Election Commission (EC ) has urged the Court to dissolve the MFP. The event has been accepted for reading by the court.
If the EC has sufficient evidence of an action that the court feels is inconvenient to the political regime and features the King as head of state, the law grants the EC the authority to ask for the disintegration of a party.
The MFP was found to possess pushed for modifications to Section 112 of the Criminal Code, also known as the der guess law, indicating an effort to undermine the democratic king in a court decision on January 31.
The EC acted against the MFP as an agency that enforces the Political Parties Act because the Jan. 31 decision provides grounds for breakdown.
Mr Parit even outlined the group’s interests in the coming months.
The MFP is making use of the bust to make more than 50 expenses ahead of congress reconvening in July despite the fact that parliament is currently in corner.
As part of expanding their social networks and support foundations, group MPs will collaborate with their constituents and produce reports on issues that people need assistance with.
In the interim, it wants to field candidates for statewide operational organization users in at least 19 provinces.
Individuals have been chosen by the MFP in three of the regions.
MFP head Thawatchai Tulathon claimed yesterday that the organization was compiling rebuttals to the allegations of dissolution.
The event involves a lot of papers and is complicated. The court has the authority to extend the deadline for submitting crucial defense papers, he said.
According to Mr. Thawatchai, the group needs more time to analyze the EC petition. He would need to identify whether the complaint is connected to the 44 MFP MPs who co-signed a demand for modifications to the Lese Majority Law.
However, Pita Limjaroenrat, MFP leader’s general director, said the group deserves enough time to put up a battle against what may amount to its democratic execution.
He insisted the group’s motivation was strongly intact.
Have the power that be previously questioned themselves about the benefits of disbanding a political party?
According to Mr. Pita,” It might diminish us in the immediate future, but it might even galvanise us greatly and help us advance in the upcoming elections.”
