Thailand's disbanded opposition party, Move Forward, relaunches as the People's Party after court dissolution.

Thailand's disbanded opposition party, Move Forward, has relaunched as the People's Party (Prachachon) after being forced to disband by the country's Constitutional Court. The party, which promises to advance the progressive platform of its predecessor, was formed after the court dissolved Move Forward due to concerns that its plan to amend a law protecting the royal family from criticism could undermine democracy and the constitutional monarchy. The People's Party is now set to become the largest party in parliament.
