Move Forward accuses EC of denying it the right to defend itself

15 Sept 05:42 Key points summarised by AI

Move Forward party leader Pita Limjaroenrat accuses the Election Commission (EC) of denying the party due process by fast-tracking its dissolution case to the Constitutional Court without allowing a defense.
The party faces dissolution and a 10-year political ban for its promise to amend the lèse majesté law, which the EC alleges is an attempt to undermine the constitutional monarchy.
Pita argues the EC's petition is illegal and invalid, citing reliance on a separate court ruling and the bypassing of established procedures, referencing a 2010 precedent.
The Constitutional Court is set to hear the critical case against the Move Forward party on July 3 and July 9.
