The Prime Minister of Thailand has officially acknowledged the recent court judgment mandating her temporary removal from office. This unprecedented decision marks a significant moment in the country’s political landscape, as the suspension will remain effective until further legal proceedings clarify her position. The ruling stems from allegations related to election campaign violations, which the court found to have merit after a thorough review.

Key elements surrounding the suspension include:

  • Immediate halt on all official duties and decision-making powers.
  • Appointment of an interim leader to ensure continuity in government operations.
  • Ongoing investigations and the possibility of an appeal in the coming weeks.
