Thailand’s Prime Minister has been removed from office by a court ruling, causing further political uncertainty in the country. The court found that the Prime Minister violated the constitution by appointing a lawyer with a criminal record to his Cabinet. This decision comes just a week after the same court dissolved the progressive Move Forward Party and banned its leaders from politics. With the Prime Minister’s removal, a new government must be formed, and the ruling coalition will nominate a new candidate for prime minister. Thailand’s political landscape has been characterized by frequent power struggles between those advocating for change and the establishment.
