THAILAND'S constitutional court today said the country's ruling party has been dissolved over a case of voting fraud.

The court also banned Prime Minister Somchai Wongsawat from politics for five years.

"The constitutional court unanimously agrees to disband the People Power Party,'' said Chat Chonlaworn, head of the nine-judge constitutional court panel.

"As the court decided to dissolve the People Power Party, therefore the leader of the party and party executives must be banned from politics for five years,'' he said.

"The court had no other option.''
