Thailand’s Constitutional Court has ousted Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin from office.
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.
