Thailand’s Constitutional Court has dissolved the Move Forward Party, citing violations of constitutional norms and banning 11 top leaders for ten years. This ruling is set to reshape the political landscape, especially given the party's notable performance in the 2023 elections. Dr. Termsak Chalermpalanupap, Visiting Fellow, ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute shares his analysis into the impact of this decision and its implications for the future of Thai politics.
