Thailand - August 2022

Prime Minister temporarily steps aside

Thailand’s Constitutional Court ruled on 24 August that Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-Cha must step aside until the Court rules on a petition filed by the opposition, arguing that Prayuth’s time spent as head of a military junta should count towards his constitutionally stipulated eight-year term. It is not clear yet when the court will deliver a final ruling.
