According to reports from Reuters and Singapore's Channel News Asia (CNA), the Thai Constitutional Court ruled on the 14th local time that Prime Minister Setthal had violated the constitution and removed him from office.
On May 16, 40 of the 250 members of the Thai Senate jointly submitted a petition to the Constitutional Court requesting the termination of Prime Minister Setha and then-Minister of the Prime Minister's Office Phichit. The members who signed the petition believed that Phichit's appointment as Minister of the Prime Minister's Office during the cabinet reshuffle violated the law, and Setha, as Prime Minister, was directly responsible and needed to be terminated, so they asked the Constitutional Court to review and rule. On May 21, Phichit resigned as Minister of the Prime Minister's Office.
On August 22, 2023, the results of the Thai Prime Minister election were announced. Setha Thavithin, the prime ministerial candidate nominated by the Pheu Thai Party, was elected as the new prime minister as the only candidate.
Public information shows that Seta Thavichun was born in Bangkok, Thailand in February 1963. He is a famous real estate tycoon and former chairman of the board of directors of Sansiri, a large real estate developer in Thailand.
