statement
BANGKOK, Feb 9, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – A Thai political party will obey a
command from the king blocking the candidacy of Princess Ubolratana for prime
minister, it said in a statement Saturday, in a dramatic reversal only a day
after putting her forward for the position.
“Thai Raksa Chart party complies with the royal command” with loyalty to
the king and all members of the royal family,” it said in a message to
reporters.
