Dissolving the House of People’s Representatives,
2543 BE

Bhumibol Adulyadej R
Given on the 9th day of November 2543 BE[1]
Being the 55th year of the present reign

Phra Bat Somdet Phra Paramin Maha Bhumibol Adulyadej is pleased to command that it be announced as follows:

Whereas the Prime Minister has notified Him of the following: When the President of the House of Representatives made a notification to Him on the 9th day of November 2540 BE,[2] asking Him to appoint a Prime Minister, and when a Cabinet was thereafter formed to perform the public administration, it was known generally that the Cabinet formed on that occasion had an important mission to expedite the carrying out of various activities under the time frames designated by the Constitution and to accelerate the resolution of critical problems of the Country. Now, the proceedings for enactment of organic laws and other laws required by the Constitution to be finished within the designated times have been finished, and the resolving of critical problems concerning the economy, society, and politics has been accomplished to a certain degree, whilst, in regard to the Legislative, Senators have been elected and the House of People’s Representatives has been convened twice a year in eight full sessions throughout the four-year period of tenure of the House of People’s Representatives, and the National Assembly has approved the law on expenditure budget for the budget year 2544 BE[3] and an amended version of the organic law on election of Members of the House of People’s Representatives and Senators, allowing them to be enacted for use in organising a general election in a smooth, expeditious, fair, and just manner. ​It is thus appropriate to surrender the power to make political decisions back to the people by dissolving the House of People’s Representatives so that a general election of its Members could be held in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution of the Kingdom of Thailand;

Therefore, by virtue of the powers under the dispositions of sections 116 and 221 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 Royal Decree Dissolving the House of People’s Representatives, 2543 BE.

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

Section3.The House of People’s Representatives shall be dissolved so as to have its Members elected anew.

Section4.An election of Members of the House of People’s Representatives, being a general election, shall take place on the 6th day of January 2544.[3]

Section5.The Prime Minister and the President of the Election Commission shall be in charge of the execution of this Royal Decree.
