Thailand is in a state of political turmoil after the nation’s constitutional court ordered the dissolution of the ruling People Power Party for electoral fraud. The court also ruled that the current prime minister, Somchai Wongsawat, and thirty-six other party members be banned from politics for five years. Minutes after the ruling, the PPP said members would regroup under a new name and propose a new prime minister. The court’s decision comes after weeks of anti-government protests, including a blockade of Thailand’s two main airports. On Monday, a protester was killed and twenty-two others were wounded in a bomb blast at the Don Muang Airport.
