BANGKOK (AFP): Thai Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin could be thrown out of office this week when the country's Constitutional Court rules on his appointment of a cabinet minister with a criminal conviction.

The case comes a week after the same court disbanded the kingdom's main opposition political party and banned its former leader, Pita Limjaroenrat, from politics for a decade.
