BANGKOK: Thailand's Constitutional Court on Wednesday declined to rule on a controversy over the new prime minister omitting a vow to uphold the constitution when he was sworn in as a civilian leader, five years after he toppled an elected government.
Prayuth was sworn in as a civilian prime minister in July, more than three months after a disputed election that opposition parties complained was skewed to all but guarantee victory for Prayuth's pro-army party. It asked the Constitutional Court to rule on what needed to be done because an incomplete oath could mean that all of the government's actions could be seen as unconstitutional.However, the Constitutional Court issued a statement on Wednesday saying the swearing-in was between the king and the cabinet.
