BANGKOK, Aug. 18 (Xinhua) -- Chief of the Election Commission (EC) of Thailand said on Monday that the election agency will decide on Tuesday whether to seek a dissolution against the People Power Party (PPP) for its electoral fraud case.

    Apichart Sukhagganond, the EC chairman, was quoted by The Nation news network on Monday that the EC would take up the case against the ruling PPP for deliberation at 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday and he expects that a final decision will be made.

    If the EC decides to seek the dissolution, it will pass on the case to the Office of the Attorney General.

    The EC took up the case for deliberation after Yongyuth Tiyapairat, a former deputy leader of the People Power Party, was found in reference to the electoral fraud during last December's general election.

    According to the 2007 Constitution, which was drafted after a military coup in 2006, a party could be disbanded if any of its executives was found conducting fraud during general elections.

    However, Thailand's Prime Minister and the PPP's leader said earlier that if his PPP and other parties are dissolved by the court, the Thai political system could collapse. "I have heard that the Democrat Party and other parties might be disbanded too, and this will really be the end of politics," he said.

    Meanwhile, an executive of the PPP said last week that the party has already registered two other backup parties. If the PPP is dissolved, all of its members can be converted into the new parties.
