Thailand's Constitutional Court has accepted a complaint aimed at removing Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin from office. The complaint alleges that the PM appointed a former lawyer with a criminal conviction to a ministerial position, raising concerns about the appointment's integrity.
Despite the severity of the allegations, PM Srettha remains in office without suspension while the case proceeds. A group of senators had previously sought his suspension pending the court's verdict, but this request has not been granted.
The decision by the Constitutional Court marks a significant development in Thailand's political landscape, highlighting the ongoing scrutiny of governmental appointments and the mechanisms in place to ensure accountability at the highest levels of leadership.
