Thai court to decide on fate of opposition Future Forward Party

The fate of Thailand's opposition Future Forward Party (FFP) hangs in the balance, with the Constitutional Court set to decide on Jan 21 whether to dissolve the party on charges of conspiring to overthrow the monarchy. In the 2019 elections, the FFP won 80 seats and became the second-biggest opposition unit in parliament. If the party is dissolved, its executives will be banned from politics for several years. Its remaining MPs will have to find a new party in parliament within 60 days, potentially weakening the opposition in the House of Representatives.
