Charter Court issue ruling on PM Prayut’s term in office on September 30th
The Constitutional Court is set to deliver its ruling on suspended Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha’s eight-year term limit on September 30th at 3 pm.
The court has concluded its inquiries, stating it possesses sufficient evidence to make a decision on the legality of his tenure.
The opposition Pheu Thai party challenged Prayut's term, arguing it expired on August 24th, which led to his suspension from active duty.
Prayut maintains that his initial period as prime minister, prior to the 2017 Constitution's promulgation, should not be included in the term calculation.
