Bangkok, Thailand ? An investigative committee has recommended dissolving Thailand’s ruling party and its main opponent for election law violations, a spokesman for the attorney general said Tuesday.

The panel also recommended dissolving three smaller parties for violations in connection with the April 2 general election, said spokesman Athapol Yaisavang.

He said the committee would forward its recommendation to the attorney general, who could then refer the case to the Constitutional Court, which has the power to dissolve political parties.

The committee was appointed by the attorney general’s office to investigate the annulled election.
