Thailand's Constitutional Court removes Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin from office over ethics case

ai generated text

Thai Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin was removed from office by the Constitutional Court on Wednesday, with a 5-4 decision stating that he had grossly breached ethics rules. The court did not specify the exact cabinet appointment in question, but it is believed to be related to the appointment of a lawyer who was briefly jailed for alleged attempted bribery 16 years ago. The court's decision comes a week after it dissolved the main opposition Move Forward Party, and has been seen as a significant blow to the country's democratic process.

    1. I performed my duties with integrity and honesty.
    2. I am saddened to leave as a prime minister who was found to be unethical.
    3. I respect the verdict. I reiterate that for the almost one year I have been in this role, I have tried with good intentions to lead the country with honesty.

    1. He was seen looking cheerful at the government house earlier today. He said he wasn't going to go to the court [for an appeal].
    2. Most people here in Thailand, certainly those watching the political scene, thought that it was probably unlikely that he would be disqualified from his position. They thought he would get a good rap over his knuckles.
