The Constitutional Court on Wednesday disbanded the Move Forward Party (MFP), saying it was guilty of jeopardising the constitutional monarchy and national security, and banned its executives for 10 years.

Apart from dissolving the party, the court also banned 11 Move Forward executives who held positions between March 25, 2021 and Jan 31 this year from running for elections, setting up a new political party or taking part in forming a new party for 10 years. The decision was unanimous.

Among those banned, effective immediately, are Mr Pita and party leader Chaithawat Tulathon. Six of those banned were sitting list-MPs (full list below).
