Thai politics has taken a dramatic turn as the country's Constitutional Court has suspended Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha pending an investigation into a leaked phone call that has sparked widespread outrage. The leaked audio, which emerged last week, appears to show the PM discussing ways to maintain power and undermine the opposition. The court's decision marks a significant setback for Prayut, who has been in office since 2014 and has faced mounting criticism over his handling of the economy and human rights. The suspension is likely to lead to a temporary power vacuum in Thailand, with Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwan assuming control in the interim.
