Thailand’s Constitutional Court has removed Prime Minister Pettongtan Shinawatra from office following the leak of a phone call with former Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen. In the recording, Pettongtan criticized her own military and assured Hun Sen of her support, sparking public outrage and nationalist backlash. She had assumed office in August 2024 as Thailand’s youngest prime minister. Lawmakers may now form a new government or call fresh elections if consensus is not reached.
