Constitutional Court President Nakharin Mektrairat expressed his reluctance but affirmed the court's duty to consider the case regarding PM Paetongtarn Shinawatra's leaked conversation with Cambodian Senate President Hun Sen.
The court has moved its meeting to July 1st to decide whether to accept a petition from Senate Speaker Mongkol Surasajja, which seeks to terminate the Prime Minister’s tenure over the controversy.
Nakharin clarified that accepting the case does not automatically necessitate suspending the Prime Minister from her duties, citing previous precedents.
