Political crisis in Thailand: After weeks of
opposition-led protests, the
Constitutional Court of Thailand dissolves the governing
People\\'s Power Party and two coalition member parties, and bans leaders of the parties, including
Prime MinisterSomchai Wongsawat, from politics for five years. As such, Wongsawat promptly resigns and is replaced by Deputy
Prime MinisterChaovarat Chanweerakul as caretaker
Prime Minister.
