The Election Commission on Monday submitted a petition to the Constitution Court seeking to dissolve the Democrat Party in connection with the alleged misuse of the 29 million baht political development fund, said EC deputy secretary-general Thanis Sriprathes.
The 8,000-page petition was accompanied by the individual judgement on the case of each of the five election commissioners.
The Democrat Party's proposed dissolution is based on two allegations.
The first involves the 29 million baht political development fund allocated by the EC. The party is alleged to have misused it.
The second case concerns an allegation that the party has unlawfully received a donation of 258 million baht from TPI Polene, a listed company, in violation of the Politcal Party Act.
Mr Thanis said the petition on the 258 million baht donation case, which also recommends dissolution of the Democrat Party, was being drafted and expected to be forwarded to the Office of the Attorney General in early May.
