Thailand’s caretaker Cabinet has appointed a new acting Prime Minister
after a court
removed Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra from office.
Ms. Yingluck and nine Cabinet members were forced from power on
Wednesday by the Constitutional Court, which found her guilty of abuse of
power.
Shortly after the ruling, her remaining Cabinet announced that
Deputy Prime Minister Niwatthamrong Boonsongpaisan would become the interim
leader.
The judgment marks the latest twist in Thailand’s long-running
political crisis.
But
it does little to resolve the turmoil as it leaves the country in limbo and
primed for more violence.
