Thai Raksa Chart awaits Constitutional Court’s verdict on its fate

13 Sept 12:26 Key points summarised by AI

The Constitutional Court is poised to deliver its verdict on the Thai Raksa Chart party's fate at 3 pm, following a case brought by the Election Commission.
The party faces potential dissolution for allegedly committing hostile acts against the constitutional democratic system by nominating Princess Ubolratana as its sole prime ministerial candidate.
A verdict to disband the party would ban 14 executive members from politics for at least 10 years and disqualify all 251 election candidates from the upcoming March 24th election, rendering their ballots invalid.
Security has been heightened around the court, and a petition to postpone the verdict was rejected by the Supreme Administrative Court.
