Following a court order disbanding Thailand's main progressive political party, the Move Forward Party regrouped under a new name, the People's Party, with a commitment to continue advocating for reforms. The dissolution of the Move Forward Party, which had won the most seats in the 2023 general election, was met with criticism as a blow to the country's progressive movement.
The Constitutional Court ruled that the Move Forward Party violated the constitution by proposing to amend a law criminalizing insults to the royal family. This ruling led to the banning of former party executives, including former chief Pita Limjaroenrat, from politics for 10 years.
