Right on cue, activist Srisuwan Janya, secretary-general of the Association for the Protection of the Constitution, went to the Election Commission on Dec 6 to file a petition calling on the poll regulator to seek the dissolution of two major parties in connection with the high-profile Chinese criminal syndicate allegedly run by businessman and suspected crime boss Chaiyanat "Tuhao" Kornchayanant.
Although he did not release the names of the parties in question to the press, Mr Srisuwan is understood to be targeting the ruling Palang Pracharath Party (PPRP) and the main opposition Pheu Thai Party.
