BANGKOK (Reuters) - Hundreds of anti-government protesters forced their way into Thailand's Election Commission building on Monday, a Reuters witness said, raising the stakes in a four-week rally aimed at toppling the government.

The red-shirted protesters, supporters of ousted Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, have also occupied Bangkok's main shopping district in a bid to force Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva to dissolve parliament and call elections.
The "red shirts" have accused the Election Commission of stalling in an investigation of alleged irregularities by Abhisit's ruling Democrat party concerning a $7.9 million election campaign donation in 2005 from cement manufacturer TPI Polene, which could lead to the party's dissolution.
