The Thai Constitutional Court suspended the position of Prime Minister Prayut Chan-ocha during the time of considering the complaint that he was in full term as prescribed.

The decision was made after the Court agreed to trial the lawsuit against the opposition parties with the argument that Mr. Prayut, who came to power in the coup in 2014, reached an 8 -year limit of the term.

The court reviewed the lawsuit and documents, determined that there was a reasonable basis to doubt that the case such as complaints and statements today of the Thai Constitutional Court said.

A provisional Prime Minister will be appointed to lead the Government.

A few hundred protesters protested against the government gathered at the Democratic Monument in Bangkok on August 23, before the court ruling, and the next protests were planned.

The 68 -year -old supported leaders argued that his power time began when the 2017 Constitution was issued, or even after the 2019 general election.

Mr. Prayut is increasingly not supported by voters.

Under the leadership of Prayut, the Thai economy was considered the worst in 30 years and his government also faced criticisms about CIVIV-19 epidemic response.

Police today put containers transporting on some streets near government buildings to prevent new protests.

This is not the first time the Constitutional Court has affected the Thai politics.
