A clip from THE STANDARD was published on June 12, 2024, before the Constitutional Court ruled on the Move Forward Party. Lt. Gen. Pongsakorn Rodchomphu offered a conditional view: if the party were dissolved, some voters might feel that the political system did not respond to them, which could backfire on what he saw as the purpose of dissolving the party. This was his prediction at the time, not a poll or evidence that such a reaction occurred.
The later court ruling
On August 7, 2024, the Constitutional Court issued ruling No. 20/2567 ordering the dissolution of the Move Forward Party. Read the Constitutional Court’s ruling summary. The document confirms the legal outcome, but it does not confirm that the speaker’s prediction about public confidence or political effects came true.
