Thailand’s Constitutional Court suspended Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra on Tuesday after 36 senators filed a petition seeking her removal over a leaked phone call with former Cambodian leader Hun Sen.

Thai Deputy Prime Minister Suriya Juangroongruangkit, 70, will serve as caretaker prime minister while the court awaits Paetongtarn’s response to allegations of dishonesty and ethical violations under the constitution.
