Thai Court Rules to Disband Ruling Party, Somchai Out
Dec. 2 (Bloomberg) --
Thailand’s Constitutional Court dissolved the ruling People Power Party, forcing the resignation of Prime Minister Somchai Wongsawat and dozens of party leaders and banning them from politics for five years.“The party tried to gain power by using unlawful ways,” said Judge Chat Chalaworn in reading the decision to disband the party for vote buying in last year’s election.Crowds at Suvarnabhumi Airport, which has been occupied for eight days by anti-government protesters demanding Somchai’s resignation, erupted in cheers after the ruling was announced.To contact the reporters on this story: Daniel Ten Kate in Bangkok at dtenkate@bloomberg.net; Rattaphol Onsanit in Bangkok at ronsanit@bloomberg.net.
