BANGKOK, Feb. 20 (Xinhua) -- The Thai political party that nominated King's sister as candidate for prime minister submitted on Wednesday an affidavit to the Constitutional Court in defense of itself over a party dissolution case.

On behalf of Thai Raksa Chart party, a few partisan lawyers lodged the affidavit to the Constitutional Court in the face of the dissolution bid filed earlier this month by the Election Commission (EC) against the party for an alleged wrongdoing involving a surprise naming of Princess Ubolratana Mahidol as its sole candidate for prime minister in the March 24 election.

According to the party's affidavit, Princess Ubolratana had the "intention" to run for prime minister and thus accepted her nomination by the party as candidate for that top post of the government.

The party has by no means disregarded any clause of the constitution or committed any act which may have been considered antagonistic to constitutional monarchy as accused by the EC, according to the party's affidavit.

Thai Raksa Chart party has charged that the EC had failed to launch any investigation into such allegations against the party regarding the constitution's organic law on political parties and unduly forwarded the case to court.

Besides, according to the party's affidavait, the polling agency had allegedly abused remarks earlier made by His Majesty King Maha Vajiralongkorn on the issue and unduly sought to have the party penalized to the extent that it be dissolved and all members of its executive board be banned from politics under a court ruling.

In a royal announcement issued earlier this month, the monarch had remarked that all royals be constitutionally and traditionally supposed to remain uninvolved and neutral in politics, given the status of Princess Ubolratana, the monarch's elder sister, as member of the royal family, thus apparently denying her the opportunity to run for prime minister.

The polling agency allegedly proceeded with the case to court in a few days time following the monarch's remarks.

The Constitutional Court's judges are scheduled to convene on the case on Feb. 27.
