Thailand's Constitutional Court has removed Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra from office due to an ethics violation related to a leaked phone conversation with Cambodia's former leader Hun Sen. This decision marks another significant blow to the influential Shinawatra political dynasty.

• Paetongtarn Shinawatra is the sixth premier from or backed by the Shinawatra family to be removed by the military or judiciary.
• The ruling cited a leaked June telephone call where Paetongtarn appeared to be subservient to Hun Sen during a time of armed conflict between their nations.
• The Bhumjaithai Party, led by Anutin Charnvirakul, has emerged as a frontrunner to form a new government, promising to dissolve parliament within four months.
