		</div><p>A court in Thailand has ordered the dissolution of a major political party ahead of this month&#8217;s general election because it nominated a member of the royal family to be its candidate for prime minister.</p>
<p>On February 8, the Thai Raksa Chart Party nominated Princess Ubolratana Mahidol as its candidate for the March 24 polls.</p>
<p>However, her brother King Maha Vajiralongkorn later that day issued a royal order calling the nomination highly inappropriate and unconstitutional.</p>
<p>The ruling by the Constitutional Court also banned members of the party&#8217;s executive board from political activity for 10 years.</p>

<p>Thai Raksa Chart is aligned with former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, and its dissolution will hinder efforts by parties loyal to Mr Thaksin to form the next government.</p>
<p>Thailand has been under military rule since 2014.</p>
