BANGKOK (AP) — A court in Thailand has removed Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin from office over an ethics violation, further shaking up Thai politics after the court-ordered dissolution of the main opposition party a week ago. The case for which the Constitutional Court judged Srettha involved his appointment of a Cabinet member who had been imprisoned over an alleged attempt to bribe a court official. The court voted 5:4 against Srettha. The Cabinet will remain in place on a caretaker basis until Parliament approves a new prime minister. There is no time limit for Parliament to fill the position.
