A court in Thailand removed Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin over an ethics violation; it recently ordered the dissolution of the main opposition party.
A court in Thailand on Wednesday removed Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin from office over an ethical violation, further shaking up Thai politics after it ordered the dissolution of the main opposition party a week ago. The Constitutional Court ruled on a case involving Srettha's appointment of a Cabinet member who had been jailed in connection with an alleged attempt to bribe a court official. The court voted 5-4 against Srettha and the ruling removed him from office immediately.
Thailand’s courts, especially the Constitutional Court, are considered a bulwark of the country’s royalist establishment, which has used them and nominally independent state agencies such as the Election Commission to issue rulings to cripple or sink political opponents.
