The party of Thailand's billionaire ex-PM Thaksin Shinawatra meets on Thursday to choose a candidate for prime minister, a day after the kingdom's top court dismissed incumbent premier Srettha Thavisin over an ethics violation.
The Constitutional Court on Wednesday ruled that Srettha, 62, had breached regulations by appointing a cabinet minister with a criminal conviction, deepening Thailand's political uncertainty a week after the dissolution of the main opposition party.
