Thai Raksa Chart Party Suspends 😱 Princess Ubolratana's Campaign
The Thai Raksa Chart Party in Thailand has cancelled its campaigning plans for the upcoming elections after the king rejected his sister's candidacy for prime minister.
"Thai Raksa Chart party complies with the royal command," the party said in a statement sent out to reporters.
Any campaigning for the princess would be suspended as the party assessed its options going ahead, the party, founded by allies of former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, said.
"Right now we have to reorganize and we will release a statement shortly concerning our future plans," a senior party member told DPA news agency requesting anonymity.
The announcement comes only a day after the party put Princess Ubolratana Rajakanya Sirivadhana Barnavadi forward as a candidate for the upcoming elections in March.
Thailand is a constitutional monarchy and has not had a royal run for front line office since 1932.
