I don't follow my country's politics much (as the best place to do that is Twitter, and it also often present politics as rage inducing contents). But the last time I dipped into Twitter people are saying that in the last weeks the courts dissolved both the leading opposition party (for "changing the form of government" by proposing changes to lese majesty laws), and the prime minister (for appointing banned individuals to ministers), which also results in dissolution of the entire cabinet.
The rumors I heard (which is no way verifiable) is that Thai elites do not like Move Forward Party (the leading opposition party, even though they won most seats) as the party wish to reform many things including constitution, lese majesty, tax, military, monopolies, local governments. This is their second dissolution, and their new party is now called People's Party. As for the outgoing PM he is a property tycoon, I think they wanted him to be the next Thaksin Shinawatra, a populist PM who came from the Telecom&Property industry, and went into exiled after a coup. Srettha, however, doesn't seems to have the same charisma as Thaksin and is probably the reason he get kicked this time.
