The party that nominated Princess Ubolratana Rajakanya as its candidate for prime minister should be disbanded, Thailand’s Election Commission said.
The agency referred Thai Raksa Chart to the Constitutional Court for conduct that’s "hostile toward the constitutional monarchy," according to a statement released by the commission on Wednesday in Bangkok. The court said it will decide tomorrow whether to accept the case.
