Thailand's Constitutional Court has ruled Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha had not exceeded the maximum eight years allowed in the post, paving the way for his likely return from a five-week suspension.
The court announced its decision on Friday in a case filed by the opposition Pheu Thai party, which had sought clarity on whether Mr Prayuth's time as leader of a junta formed after a coup he led eight years ago should count in his overall tally.
