Thailand’s opposition is to challenge the weekend’s disputed election in court on Tuesday.<br /><br />It comes as the Election Commission is investigating possible campaigning irregularities.<br /><br />As anti-government protesters again took to the streets, the opposition Democrat Party which boycotted the election is to file two complaints with the Constitutional Court.<br /><br />It alleges that the prime minister’s party tried to grab power through unconstitutional means, and also wants to challenge the decision to declare a state of emergency.<br /><br />Despite the protests, the election is highly likely to return caretaker prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra to power.<br /><br />Voting passed off generally peacefully on Sunday, with no repeat of the previous day’s violence in Bangkok.<br /><br />But the protesters want to overhaul a political system they say has been exploited by the prime minister’s exiled brother, former premier Thaksin Shinawatra.
