The Constitutional Court of Thailand began oral statements, discussions and voting on the morning of the 29th on the alleged unconstitutionality of Peitontan Shinawatra, who was suspended from his post as prime minister. The result of the ruling will be announced at 15:00 local time (16:00 Beijing time) that day.

On 21 August, Thailand's suspended Prime Minister Petun Tan (formerly) arrived at the Thai Constitutional Court in Bangkok.

On the same day, the Constitutional Court of Thailand became the focus of media attention. The court set up an electronic screen in the media area to play relevant pictures and will read the ruling live on the Internet. The Constitutional Court has a total of 9 judges. Each judge will orally state its position at a collegial meeting. After discussion, a vote will be held and the ruling will be established after receiving the support of more than half of the judges.

According to previous reports by Thai media, Petongtan will not go to the court that day, but will hear the ruling through live broadcast in the Prime Minister's Office. After the ruling is read out, she will hold a press conference. Later, she plans to go to the headquarters of the Thai Party to meet with party members and other supporters.

In mid-June, a recording of a call with the Chairman of the Cambodian Senate, Hunson, about the situation at the Thai border leaked, sparking controversy in Thailand. The Thai Constitutional Court announced on July 1 that it had accepted a petition to investigate the existence of unconstitutional acts by Prime Minister, and suspended the exercise of Prime Minister¡¯s powers.

The court's ruling is a fork in the road for Thailand's future politics - if Petuntan is found not unconstitutional, she will regain the power of the prime minister, which will greatly boost the stability of the Thai party and the government; if she is found unconstitutional, Thailand may face a government reorganization or trigger early elections.

Thai media reported that even if Peitontan successfully passes the test, she may continue to face investigations from other independent bodies such as the Anti-Corruption Commission, and the pressure on the Thai Party and the government will continue.
