Thai princess could not become the prime minister!

The Dhaka Times Desk In the end Princess Ubalaratna of Thailand did not become Prime Minister of Princess Siribadhana. Yesterday (Monday) the Election Commission of the country canceled his nomination papers.

Various Thai media said yesterday (Monday) the Election Commission published the full list of candidates for the post of Prime Minister of the political parties who want to participate in the national elections of Thailand. Princess Ubalratna is not named in it. Ubalaratna is the sister of the current King of Thailand, Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn.

According to an information from the Thai Election Commission, according to the country's tradition, members of the royal family will be above politics. At the same time, members of the royal family cannot hold any political office.

Princess Ubalaratna of Thailand wanted to fight for the post of the next prime minister with the support of Thai Raksa Chart Party, the party of deposed Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra. His name was announced by the party last Friday. This happened for the first time in Thailand's political history.

In a message after the incident, Thailand's King Maha Vajiralongkorn also called the princess's attempt to enter the premiership race "inappropriate" and unconstitutional.

On the other hand, former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra's political party Thai Raksa Chart Party is in danger of being banned by nominating the princess. Now it remains to be seen what happens in the end.
