🇹🇭 THAILAND’S PRIME MINISTER OUSTED IN SHOCK COURT RULING

Srettha Thavisin was removed from office after a court ruled he had violated the constitution, plunging the country into further political turmoil.

The Constitutional Court in Bangkok ruled that Srettha, a real estate tycoon, had breached ethics rules by appointing a lawyer who had served prison time to the Cabinet.

Five of the court’s nine judges voted to dismiss Srettha and his Cabinet, ruling that the prime minister was “well aware that he appointed a person who seriously lacked moral integrity.”
