Thailand Election Commission decides to ask the Constitutional Court to order the dissolution of the Forward Party. If the party is to be dissolved, it is expected that there will be a strong backlash from its supporters, and future court decisions will be the focus.
The Progressive Party rose to become the largest party in last May's general election with promises such as amending the lese majeste law, which prohibits defamation of the royal family. The focus will be on whether the party will order the dissolve of the party.
