            (1) an act to overthrow the democratic regime of government with the King as Head of State or to gain power in the administration of the State by unconstitutional means, or an act which the constitution considers as intended to gain such power;

            (2) an act which may be harmful to the democratic regime of Government with the King as Head of State under the Constitution;

            (3) an act in violation of Section 20 paragraph two, Section 28, Section 30, Section 36, Section 44, Section 45, Section 46, Section 72, or Section 74;

            (4) having reasonable legal cause of dissolution as provided by law.

            If the Constitutional Court considers that the circumstance applies to the political party as described in paragraph one, the Court shall issue an order dissolving the political party as well as repealing the Executive Committee member’s right to stand for election."
