BANGKOK, Feb. 21 (Xinhua) -- Thailand's Constitution Court on Friday delivered a ruling to dissolve the Future Forward Party, Thailand's opposition political party.
As a result of the party dissolution, the court decided to ban the party's executives as of Feb. 21 from running in elections for 10 years.
The move comes just days before a no-confidence motion in the ruling coalition is due to be debated in Parliament. The debate and vote is scheduled for Feb 24-28.
The third best performer at the March general election last year, Future Forward surprised many by scooping up 81 seats despite none of its candidates having run for office before. Some of these Members of Parliament have since left the party or vacated their seats.
