Former Move Forward leader Pita Limjaroenrat anticipates the party's potential dissolution by the Constitutional Court over charges related to its lèse majesté law amendment campaign.
Despite the grim prospect, Pita vowed that a new party, if formed, would achieve a landslide victory in the next election, promising a stronger return.
During a three-day tour in Thailand's north-east, Pita rallied supporters, thanked them for their moral support, and expressed confidence in returning as Prime Minister in three years.
The Election Commission has sought a court ruling to dissolve Move Forward and ban its executive members from politics for ten years over allegations of attempting to overthrow the Constitutional Monarchy.
