EC to probe Future Forward party for alleged violation of Political Party Act

Apparently undaunted by the Constitutional Court’s recent ruling against the dissolution of the Future Forward party, Dr. Natthaporn Toprayoon, who initiated those proceedings, will again ask the court to disband the party, this time via the Election Commission (EC), for alleged violation of the Political Party Act.

 

A former advisor to the chief ombudsman, Dr. Natthaporn claims that the Constitutional Court’s ruling on January 21st, which cleared the Future Forward party of having committed any offence which would justify the party’s dissolution, opened the door for appropriate agencies, such as the EC, to investigate the party for having committed any acts which could be deemed as detrimental to democratic system under monarchy, in violation of Section 92(2) of the Political Party Act.

 

He said that he has submitted all the evidence he originally presented to the Constitutional Court, to the EC to start a new probe into Future Forward, claiming that, under Section 92 (2), a party which embraces an ideology contrary to constitutional monarchy is to be judged as being detrimental to democratic rule with the King as head of state.

The never ending saga of the Government trying to get rid of a party with the most potential to take over at the next election .

Makes me smile...the parallels between this political fiasco and the never ending saga to derail the Trump administration....☺

Here it comes again, and this time it will work. Everyone knew there was the next plan to cut the head off.

Love to see in slow motion frames someone slapping this guys face. It would just jiggle back and forth like a bowl of jello.. 

It may well work this time but I don't share your confidence due to international face saving and the potential for stirring the bubbling unrest.If this guy can't produce fresh evidence I suspect the courts will try to avoid causing unrest which could spell the end for the current Trictator.

the same old really boring story, any opposition to the establishment gets trodden down

Yes indeed, the ageing pro-military elitists think it is their divine right to run the country irrespective of a so-called democratically elected parliament. By the time they have passed on however, FFP will be a major player in politics.
