Senator Angkhana Neelapaijit said today that the provision in the current Constitution regarding party dissolution should be amended, because it is harmful to democracy and affects all parties.
She said that such a provision makes it easier for a party in Thailand to be dissolved, whereas, in many other democracies, dissolving a party is a major issue and cannot easily be done.
Ahead of the Constitutional Court’s ruling on the dissolution of the Move Forward party this Wednesday, the former Thai human rights commissioner said that a party should not be disbanded in a democracy, as she recalled that the Move Forward party received a mandate from more than 14 million voters in last May election.
She added that senators should consider amending the charter regarding party dissolution.
