US EditionThai Court to Deliver Verdict on Aug 29 in PM Paetongtarn Dismissal Case
Conservative senators accuse Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra of breaching ethics during a border dispute with Cambodia, risking political instability, court ruling set for August 29.
- Thailand's Constitutional Court will rule on August 29 at 3 p.m. in Bangkok whether Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra should be disqualified from office.
- The case arose from allegations by conservative senators that Paetongtarn violated ministerial ethics and acted improperly in managing a territorial conflict with Cambodia.
- Paetongtarn was suspended from her duties on July 1 and defended her actions by stating she acted in Thailand’s interests during a leaked call with Cambodian leader Hun Sen.
- Her comments, which included referring to Hun Sen as "uncle" and accusing the Thai military of worsening the situation by limiting access at border crossings, led to public outrage, demonstrations, and demands for her to step down.
- If Paetongtarn is found guilty, she will be permanently removed from her position, intensifying Thailand’s political turmoil at a crucial juncture when the country is working to uphold a delicate ceasefire and peacefully address the border dispute with Cambodia through diplomatic talks.
