'Sad and depressing': Thailand's Princess Ubolratana reacts to ThaiRaksachart's dissolution ThaiElection2019
BANGKOK - Thailand's Constitutional Court on Thursday dissolved a political party which tried to nominate the king's sister for the role of prime minister, ruling it out of the much-awaited March 24 general election.
He added: “Even though we can’t achieve our dream, I thank you all for your support. There is more work to do for this country, and those who are here will keep on working.” But the king swiftly vetoed her nomination on the same day, stressing that she was still a royal and supposed to remain above politics.
She had apologised on the platform after the uproar, saying that her"honest intention to work for the country and the Thai people have caused problems that shouldn't have occurred in this era". Running in the same March 24 poll are several parties striving to get current prime minister Prayut Chan-o-cha reinstated as premier after the election.
