Bangkok – The Constitutional Court has accepted the Election Commission’s (EC) petition to rule on the proposed dissolution of the Thai Raksa Chart Party.
The court made the decision just a day after the Election Commission recommended the party be dissolved over its Feb. 8 nomination of Princess Ubolratana Mahidol.
The court said in a statement that the charges are being forwarded to the Thai Raksa Chart Party, which will have seven days to respond. It scheduled the next hearing for Feb. 27.
If the party is dissolved its board members could be banned from politics for 10 years or more.
