Thai election commission moves to dissolve party linked to princess:
statement

BANGKOK, Feb 13, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – Thailand’s Election Commission said
Wednesday it will ask the constitutional court to dissolve a party that put
forward a princess as a prime ministerial candidate, days after the king
rebuked the move in a stern royal command.

“The action is considered hostile to the constitutional monarchy,” the
statement said.
