Thailand is in political turmoil following the Constitutional Court’s dismissal of Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra over an ethics violation linked to her handling of a border dispute with Cambodia. This has triggered a scramble among political rivals to fill the power vacuum, with the ruling Pheu Thai party struggling to maintain its coalition amidst waning public support. Acting Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai reassured the public that border security would not be compromised during this transition, emphasizing that the military is prepared to manage any potential conflict with Cambodia, especially after recent deadly clashes. The political landscape is further complicated by the emergence of the opposition People’s Party as a potential kingmaker, seeking support for early elections and constitutional amendments. Analysts suggest that the rival camps’ maneuvering may lead to prolonged deadlock, raising concerns about stability in Thailand’s governance and its implications for regional security. The situation underscores the fragile nature of Thai politics, where entrenched rivalries and the legacy of the Shinawatra family continue to shape the power dynamics.
