The recently deposed prime minister of Thailand, Yingluck Shinawatra faces impeachment that could ban her from the political field for five whole years. The impeachment is over a costly rice subsidy.
Thailand’s anti-corruption commission has ruled 7-0 to send this case to the Senate with recommendation of impeachment, that has led to enraged supporters who plan to lead mass protests across the country.
Thailand’s Commerce Minister, Niwatthamrong Bunsongphaisan, has been appointed interim prime minister after the deposition of Yingluck. Her deposition comes at a crucial time when elections are scheduled nationwide for July 20th.

Due to the mass protests by Yingluck’s supporters, Election Commission of Thailand has cast doubt on whether they could be arranged in such a deadlocked condition.
“We may have to postpone it,” said Election Commission’s Secretary General, Phuchong Nutawong.
The spokesman for the commision, Vicha Mahakun said, “Even though at this stage it appears that the evidence is not clear that the accused (Ms Yingluck) took part in corruption or allowed corruption or not, the accused did not govern the country as announced in parliament.”
