BANGKOK — Thailand's frustrated election winner Pita Limjaroenrat said Sunday he is confident of winning a court case that could see his party dissolved over its pledge to reform the kingdom's tough royal insult laws.Pita's reformist Move Forward Party won most seats in last year's general election, but conservative senators stopped him becoming prime minister partly because of the push to change the laws shielding King Maha Vajiralongkorn from criticism.

'Thailand's election commission asked the Constitutional Court to dissolve MFP in March, after an earlier ruling by the court that the party's pledge to reform lese-majeste laws amounted to an attempt to overthrow the constitutional monarchy.The court will hold a hearing in the case on Wednesday, but is not expected to give a ruling.
