EC seeks to disband Chart Thai and Matchima Thiptaya Parties

The Election Commission on Friday decided to petition the Constitution Court to rule whether to disband two coalition parties, Chart Thai and Matchima Thipataya.



Their decisions based on grounds that their executives were involved in electoral fraud in the December 23 election.

The EC's decision was based on the majority vote of four members.

One dissent member was Somchai Juengprasert.

Should the high court rule against the two parties, the mandatory punishment is by party dissolution.
