Suspended Thai Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin Testifies in Constitutional Court
On the 21st local time, suspended Thai Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin appeared in Thailand's Constitutional Court to testify regarding his alleged violation of the constitution. On that day, the Constitutional Court summoned both Srettha and the Secretary-General of the National Security Council to testify. According to the court's arrangements, Srettha's testimony is a crucial part of the trial, mainly to hear evidence from those involved in the case. Due to issues related to national security, the proceedings were not open to the public. The Constitutional Court is scheduled to deliberate and make a ruling on the case on the 29th of this month. If the court rules that Srettha's actions were unconstitutional, he will be immediately removed from the prime minister position, a deputy prime minister will act as interim prime minister, and the parliament will subsequently hold a new vote to select a prime minister.
