Given on the 17th day of March 2566 BE
Being the 8th year of the present reign

His Majesty King Ramathipbodi Sisinthra Maha Vajiralongkorn Phra Wachiraklao Chaoyuhua is pleased to give a Great Royal Command that it be announced as follows:

Whereas the Prime Minister has notified Him of the following: As the House of Representatives has been in service since 2562 BE[2] and has now concluded the ordinary session of its fourth year, which is the last year of its term, it is appropriate to dissolve the House of Representatives so as to have its Members elected anew through a general election in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution of the Kingdom of Thailand, by which the power to make political decisions would be readily returned to the people, enabling the democratic administration with a Monarch as Chief to continue continuously;

Therefore, by the powers under the dispositions of sections 103 and 175 of the Constitution of the Kingdom of Thailand, He is graciously pleased to enact the following Royal Decree:

Section1.This Royal Decree is called the House of Representatives Dissolution Royal Decree, 2566 BE.

Section2.This Royal Decree shall enter into operation from the day of its publication in the Royal Gazette onwards.

​Section3.The House of Representatives shall be dissolved so as to have its Members elected anew through a general election.

Section4.A general election of Members of the House of Representatives shall take place on the day designated by an announcement of the Election Commission, which must not be sooner than forty-five days, but not later than sixty days, from the day of entry into operation of this Royal Decree.

Section5.The President of the Election Commission shall be in charge of the implementation of this Royal Decree.
