The Election Commission on Monday decided by a vote of 4-1 to recommend the dissolution of the ruling Democrat Party for receiving an illegal 258 million baht donation and the alleged misuse of a 29 million baht political development fund provided by the EC.
The decision was made at a special meeting of the EC chaired by Apichart Sukhagganond.
Mr Apichart, who is ex officio political party registrar, presented his recommendation to the commission for consideration.
Commissioner Sodsri Sattayatham revealed earlier the crucial meeting would be held today.
In December last year, the EC resolved that Mr Apichart, as the political party registrar, should decide whether to propose the dissolution of the Democrat Party to the Constitution Court.
Today's decision dealt a severe blow on the Democrat Party, whose leader and Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva is under unrelenting pressure from the United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD) to immediately dissolve the House of Representatives and call a general election.
The red-shirts at the Ratchaprasong intersection roared with joy on hearing the news from leader Veera Musikhapong, who said he hoped the case would proceed quickly.
Thousands of UDD's red-shirts on April 5 converged on the EC headquarters on Chaeng Wattana road and accused the commission of the dragging out a decision in the case against the Democrat Party.
Bowing to the UDD's demand, the EC said it would come up with a decision by April 20.
The EC will forward its decision to the Office of the Attorney-General. The OAG then has 30 days to review the case.
If the OAG's decision contradicts the EC's ruling, a joint committee would be set up to consider the case. If the OAG agrees with the EC, it will refer the case to the Constitution Court for a final decision.
The Democrat Party, Thailand's oldest political party, was accused of receiving more than 258 million baht in illegal donations from TPI Polene for use in the 2005 general election and not declaring it. The party was also accused of misusing the Politics Development Fund worth 29 million baht.
The current and previous constitutions limit individual donations to 10 million baht a year.
TPI Polene, a cement firm, was alleged to have made donations totalling 258 million baht to the Democrats through Messiah Business and Creation Co, an advertising company.
The Democrat Party faces possible dissolution and its executives could be banned from politics for five years if the Constitution Court upholds the Election Commission's finding.

Congretulation Thais, you leaders are civilized people, they respect democracy and laws. Compared to Thailand, Cambodia is just a jungle governed by a band of monkeys who are not able to recognize democracy and laws.
He is constipated.
Hun Sen must learn from Thai or Abhisit because this guy willing to leave office instead Hun Sen is a power hungry guy.
Learn how to be civilized please Hun Sen.
Wow, they don't want this guy Abhisit to stay in Thailand either!
His crap isn't coming good! Look at his face!!!!!!!!
The NEXT turn will be Mafia Leader Hun Sen, a Hanoi's puppet Monkey Khmer Prime Minister.
Nice tried Abhishit Vejjajiva, now you can't send your fucken troops to bothering khmers or invading khmers again, in order to cool down Red Shirts protesting...well, we all knew how bad and asshole you were...punkass! by the way, before you leave your ass making sure pay all the money first, because you still haven't paid for those damaged yet..?
All cambodian soldiers at the border must remain on alert at all time, while bangkok city is burning like hell... Kashit and Abhishit may send those fucken black ass soldier to bothring khmer again..?
I must tell all my successor to make sure have Hun Sen remove as well. He is needed to be go on KR's trial. All Khmer rise up remove Hun Sen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ahbitsit Vejajiva Thai PM,
5:10 AM you made some valid motherfucking points. I couldn't agree more.
its funny how all of a sudden there bieng accuse for taking illegal donations hahahaha fucking HEAVYYYYYY
Cambodia can do the same as Red shirts, but there aren't enough million people to march. Among Cambodians there about 5 million Yuon, then Cambodians have to be more than 5 millions to do that.
Cambodia situations cannot be allowed to do that because the country is just got up from dying, and it needs to be calm and build from scratch. Thailand has never had war it is OK. Just hope Hun Sen is willing to step dowm and allow other intelligence people to lead the country.
But there are at least 2 major problems why Hun Sen is scared to step down. One: Hanoi will be killed him to keep its dirty tactics in place. Two: he and his family will be killed by the angry mob no matter where they go to live.
typo
I meaat to say: One: Hanoi will kill him to keep its dirty tactics in place.
