BANGKOK (The Nation/Asia News Network): Most Move Forward Party (MFP) members and MPs could be banned from politics if the Constitutional Court rules that the party’s election campaign constituted an attempt to overthrow the monarchy, MFP deputy leader Sirikanya Tansakun said on Monday.

Sirikanya voiced her concerns during a press event at MFP headquarters, noting that the court would soon convene to deliberate two cases filed against the party which won most MP seats in the May 14 general election.
