Thailand's Court Dismisses Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin
News summary

Thailand's Constitutional Court has ousted Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin, marking the fifth prime ministerial removal in two decades, following a controversial ruling that accused him of breaching ethical standards due to a cabinet appointment involving a convicted former lawyer. Srettha, who had served less than a year, expressed disappointment at being labeled dishonest but accepted the court's decision. His removal coincided with the dissolution of the opposition Move Forward Party, which intensified the political turmoil in the country. The Pheu Thai Party, now under pressure to maintain its coalition, is preparing for a parliamentary vote to select a new premier amidst concerns of further instability. Amidst economic challenges, the party is considering candidates, including Thaksin Shinawatra's daughter, Paetongtarn. Analysts suggest the court's actions reflect ongoing tensions between the Pheu Thai Party and conservative elites, mirroring Thailand's tumultuous political history.
