Finally Thailand is having elections, though ones heavily slanted in favour of the junta but annouced last night that the presidential candidate for the Thai Raksa Chart party will be the Kings sister.
Now Thai Raksa Chart were not expected to do nothing really as they are the reminents of the previous parties led by the shinawatra family, however the news that Princess Ulboratana will be their candidate, directly against Junta leader has shook Thai politics as the army has used the royals to legitimise it's coup and dictatorship.
Although she relinquished her title due to her marriage to a foriegner and is not protected under the la majeste laws, it will be hard for many to criticise or insult the kings sister .
