Thailand’s Constitutional Court has sacked Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin from office.
The judges ruled 5-4 that Srettha breached regulations by appointing a lawyer with a criminal conviction to his cabinet, in a case brought by a group of former senators appointed by Thailand’s former ruling junta.
Mr Thavisin was sacked on Wednesday. Mr Thavisin, who assumed the role just over a year ago, was found to have breached constitutional, moral and ethical standards by appointing a close associate of his patron, Thaksin Shinawatra, to his cabinet.
Wednesday’s ruling could plunge the nation into renewed instability and further uncertainty over the political landscape of Southeast Asia’s second-largest economy.
