BANGKOK, Feb. 19 (Xinhua) -- Front-line figures of Thai Raksa Chart Party have changed their mind to return to their electoral campaign trail to help candidates run for MP in individual constituency mode nationwide during the run-up to the March 24 election.
In a press conference at the party's headquarters on Tuesday morning, Chaturon Chaisang, head of the party's electoral strategy committee, said that those prominent Thai Raksa Chart members, mostly former MPs or cabinet ministers, have decided to resume their electoral campaign which has been called off since last week.
Nevertheless, members of Thai Raksa Chart Party's executive board will not join such electoral campaign but will focus their attention on the party dissolution case, which is currently handled by the Constitutional Court, according to Chaturon.
Nattawut Saikua, head of the party's electoral campaign committee, assured that none of the party's rank and file will discuss the party dissolution case in public and might only do so in court.
Earlier this month, the Election Commission filed the Thai Raksa Chart Party dissolution case to the Constitutional Court following a surprise nomination of Princess Ubolratana Mahidol as its sole candidate for prime minister.
The party has been accused by the polling agency of a wrongdoing which was allegedly "antagonistic to democratic rule with the monarch as head of state" in accordance with the constitution's organic law pertaining to political parties, thus prompting the party dissolution bid.
