Thailand - September 2022

Thailand's Constitutional Court ruled on 30 September that Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-Cha can continue in office after finding that he had not exhausted his eight-year term limit based on when the constitution came into effect in April 2017. The ruling prompted anti-government demonstrations in Bangkok with protesters asserting that the decision was politically motivated amid the court’s long history of ruling against parties challenging the established order.
