According to reports, the phone call leaked while she was discussing the border dispute, which later led to a string of complaints and public protests.

However, after the court order, there was no reaction from Paetongtarm.

On Monday, she said that she would accept and follow the process,s although she didn’t want to see her work interrupted. As per reports, Deputy PM Suriya Jungrungruangkit will become the acting prime minister following Paetongtarn’s suspension, although there’s no official confirmation.

Earlier Tuesday, Thailand’s King Maha Vajiralongkorn endorsed a Cabinet reshuffle forced by the departure of a major party from Paetongtarn’s coalition government over the leaked phone call. The reshuffle replaced former Deputy Prime Minister Anutin Charvirakul, leader of the Bhumjaithai Party, which had held several Cabinet positions in her government.

In the new cabinet, Paetongtarn also took the position of culture minister in addition to prime minister, as she wanted to promote Thai culture on a global scale. It remains unclear whether she can take the oath to remain in that role.

Paetongtarn also faces investigations over an alleged breach of ethics by the Office of the National Anti-Corruption Commission, whose decision could also lead to her removal.-Agencies
