EC's verdict: dissolve the PPP

The Election Commission's verdict on the PPP was announced today, following last month's delay. The EC voted unanimously to recommend the dissolution of the PPP. Their verdict will now be passed to the Constitution Court for its authorisation.

The EC's decision was based on the Supreme Court's conviction of PPP deputy leader Yongyuth Tiyaphairat, following the EC's investigation into vote-buying during the 2007 general election. The PPP's fate is thus likely to be the same as that of TRT, which was dissolved last year.
