Thai PM Paetongtarn Shinawatra ousted over ethics violations, sparking political uncertainty.

Thailand's Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra was ousted by the Constitutional Court due to ethical misconduct, leading to a caretaker government headed by Deputy Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai. The largest opposition party failed to decide on backing a new prime minister, leaving the political future uncertain. Five candidates are in the running, but a new PM must secure at least 247 votes in parliament. The People's Party, holding 143 seats, could play a crucial role in the selection.
