Thailand’s Constitutional Court is set to pass judgment on the future of suspended Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra on Friday, over a case of a leaked call with Cambodia’s former leader Hun Sen shortly before a war between the two countries.
If the court decides to sack Paetongtarn, as it did Thailand’s previous prime minister a year ago, the Southeast Asian nation will have no obvious leader to take on the responsibility of governing. The 39-year-old leader has been in power for just a year.
