Thailand’s Prime Minister Partagatarn Shinavatra suspended, constitutional court takes a big step

Thailand PM Suspended: There has been a tremendous upheaval in Thailand politics. The constitutional court of the country has suspended Prime Minister Partagarn Shinavatra from his post. The decision came after a diplomatic dispute with Cambodia and a leaked telephone call, which has created heavy political tension within the Thailand’s Parliament and the military establishment. The court pronounced this decision with a majority of 7-2, saying that the Prime Minister is suspended from his works from July 1, until the final decision in the matter comes.

Cambodia dispute and leak call became reason
The entire controversy began in May 2025 after a confrontation on the border of Thailand and Cambodia, killing a Cambodian soldier. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Partagatarn made a telephone call to Cambodian leader and former Prime Minister Hun Sen. The call was recently leaked, in which he addressed Hun Sen as “Uncle” and called a senior commander of the Thai army “anti”. This statement created a sharp response within the country, especially between the army and orthodox forces.

Aadhaar became a petition of pro -army MPs
After the leak call surfaced, the MPs of Thai Parliament filed a petition against the Prime Minister in the constitutional court who are considered close to the army. He alleged that the Prime Minister indicated to bow down to Cambodia on this sensitive issue and publicly humiliated the Thai army. The petition said that this behavior does not meet the constitutional test of the “moral dignity” of the ministerial post, which has hurt the national security, foreign policy and military prestige of the country.

Prime Minister’s response
Although the Prime Minister Partagarn Shinavatra has not yet made any direct public statement in the matter, his spokesperson made it clear in the press briefing that the aim of the Prime Minister was only to maintain peace in the area and avoid conflict. The spokesman said that the Prime Minister is very hurt by the leak of the phone call and promoting it in the wrong context. He also said that the Prime Minister respects the process of the court and will cooperate fully in the investigation.

Shinavatra family again in controversies
The Prime Minister Partagarnarn, is the daughter of former Prime Minister Thaxin Shinavatra, who was removed from power in 2006 through a military coup. Since then, his family has been continuously centers of controversies and power struggle in Thai politics. Political analysts believe that this suspension of the Prime Minister is not just a constitutional or legal process, but an attempt to weaken the democratically elected government by the army and conservative powers. The Pitagartan government has been facing opposition to the army -backed establishment since the beginning, and now the matter has become another challenge for Thailand’s democratic stability.
