Thailand’s Constitutional Court is expected to hand down verdicts before September on two high-profile cases — one seeking to remove Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin and the other to dissolve opposition party Move Forward.
The cases will be reviewed carefully and the nine-member court will seek to clear all doubts before meeting to reach the verdicts, Nakharin Mektrairat, the president of the court, said in a seminar on Monday. The court won’t be issuing any rulings on the two cases this week, he added.
