Thailand’s Constitutional Court has ignited a political firestorm by accepting a complaint to remove Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin from office. The case centers on his decision to appoint a former lawyer with a criminal conviction to a ministerial role—a move critics say violates ethical standards.
The Case Explained
Over 40 senators accused Srettha of bypassing legal protocols by giving a cabinet position to a figure previously convicted of ethical violations. While the court agreed to review the case, it declined to suspend the PM during proceedings—a blow to the opposition. Legal experts say the decision highlights Thailand’s volatile political climate ahead of key economic reforms.
What’s Next?
Srettha, a real estate tycoon-turned-politician, remains in power for now. The court’s verdict could reshape Thailand’s leadership and impact Southeast Asia’s economic dynamics. Analysts warn of market turbulence if the PM is ousted.
As Bangkok buzzes with speculation, citizens and investors alike are glued to the drama. Will Srettha survive? Stay tuned.
