A court in Thailand has removed the Prime Minister from office due to an ethical violation, adding to the recent political turmoil in the country following the dissolution of the main opposition party. The Constitutional Court's decision stemmed from the Prime Minister's appointment of a Cabinet member who had previously been imprisoned for attempting to bribe a court official.
The court voted 5:4 against the Prime Minister, leading to his immediate removal from office. The Cabinet will continue to function in a caretaker capacity until a new Prime Minister is approved by Parliament, with no set timeline for this process.
