Thailand’s Prime Minister, Srettha Thavisin, has been ousted from office after a court decided that he breached the constitution.
The decision comes a week after the same court disbanded Thailand’s popular progressive Move Forward Party, which won the most seats in last year’s election and barred its leaders from politics for a decade.
The Constitutional Court in Bangkok found on Wednesday that Srettha, a real estate mogul and relative political newbie, violated ethical standards by choosing a lawyer who had previously served in prison to the Cabinet.
A new administration must now be created, and the ruling Pheu Thai coalition will nominate a new prime minister, who will be elected by the 500-seat parliament.
The verdict adds to Thailand’s already volatile political landscape, in which those seeking change have regularly clashed with the establishment.
Srettha’s elevation to the position in August broke three months of political deadlock following the 2023 elections, but it resulted in his Pheu Thai party forming a ruling coalition with its longstanding military enemies.
A group of 40 military-appointed former senators launched a complaint against Srettha in May, seeking to remove him from office in response to the Cabinet appointment of Pichit Chuenban, a close ally to former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra.
Srettha has denied misconduct, claiming Pichit, who has now left, was thoroughly vetted and the party followed proper protocols.
