Thailand’s electoral commission said that it will ask the Constitutional Court to dissolve the reformist Move Forward Party, MFP. The commission said that it had agreed unanimously to seek the dissolution of the party. The commission said that there is evidence that the party undermines the country’s democratic system with the king as the head of state. The MFP won the most seats in last year’s general election.

According to media reports, in its campaign, the MFP had promised to reform kingdom’s laws against insulting the Thai monarchy. It said, MFP had proposed amending article 122 of Thailand’s criminal code, which carries up to 15 years prison sentence for insulting the royal family.

Earlier this year, the Constitutional Court had ruled that the pledge to reform the legislation amounted to an attempt to overthrow the monarchy.
