Thailand's political divisions are erupting again with just over a month to go to the first general election since a coup almost five years ago.
The spotlight is now on the fate of a party linked to exiled former leader Thaksin Shinawatra. The party, Thai Raksa Chart, saw a stunning bid to make Princess Ubolratana Rajakanya its prime ministerial candidate rapidly unravel Feb. 8 when her brother, King Maha Vajiralongkorn, publicly opposed the move.
The Election Commission on Monday disqualified the princess from running, ending a stunning, short-lived candidacy.
