The Thai Constitutional Court temporarily suspended Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatry from the Office, the biggest blow of its less than one year’s government.
The position of paetongtarn will be suspended from Tuesday, a decision supported by seven out of nine judges, Bloomberg reported.
Who is paetongtarn shinawatra?
Paetongtarn (38) is the youngest daughter of billionaire Thaksin Shinawatry, who is a patriarch of a political dynasty that has been dominating most of the Thai elections since 2001.
Paetongtarn is the leader of the ruling party of Pheu Thai, formerly known as the Prosemocratic Party. Since August 2024 he has been the Prime Minister of Thailand and is only a second woman who holds a prestigious position.
The drafted Prime Minister has the title of political science from the prestigious University of Thailand Chulalongkorn and the master’s degree in the field of international hotel management at the University of Surrey in the UK.

PM Way from Business to Policy
PAETONGTARN was involved in the SHINAWATRA family business before entering a politics that extends across real estate, hospitality and telecommunications.
At one point, Rande Development Co, which operates a luxury Rosewood in Bangkok, was listed as the CEO of the hotel business.
After her position in the PM office, she was taken by Sretth Thvisin, who was also excluded in a similar case in a similar case.
Why was paetongtarn expelled?
The sudden suspension focuses on the leaked telephone interview between Paetongtarn and the former Cambodian Prime Minister and the current President of the Senate Hun Sen, in which she criticized the role of the Thai army in the border distance with Cambodia.
The petitioners claim that PM comments in a leak telephone call are a violation of ethical standards, which can lead to its disqualification.
The incident led to thousands of protesters gathered in Bangkok and demanded her resignation, although Paetongtarn refused to resign.
The suspended PM apologized for a telephone call leakage and said it was ready to cooperate fully with the legal process.
Meanwhile, the border dispute with Cambodia has intensified, and both countries resorted to measure to Tit-for-to limit the trade and cross-border movement. Last week, Hun demanded a dream, the father of the current Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet, to change the leadership in Thailand, and said that he doubted the ability to resolve the ability of Paetongtarn to resolve the conflict, the press agency reported.
