Thailand's Constitutional Court fired Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra on Friday after finding that she had broken ethical guidelines by speaking with a senior Cambodian official over the phone.
The decision ends the term of the nation’s youngest prime minister and delivers the latest blow to the powerful Shinawatra political dynasty that has dominated Thai politics for more than two decades. Her father, Thaksin Shinawatra, who was prime minister from 2001 to 2006, has in the past faced allegations of putting his personal interests over those of the nation.
