Thai king crushes sister's bid to become prime minister
  • 5 years ago
Princess Ubolratana Rajakanya’s audacious bid to be Thailand’s next prime minister appears over after just one day. Her brother King Maha Vajiralongkorn stunned the kingdom with a late-night rebuke of his elder sister’s foray into politics, saying her move was “inappropriate” and unconstitutional. Following the royal decree from the king, the party announced it would comply, effectively ending her candidacy in a dramatic reversal.
