Paetongtarn Shinawatra, Thailand’s youngest prime minister and scion to the country’s most prominent political dynasty, may lose power barely a year after taking the top political office.

Thailand’s Constitutional Court has suspended Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra from office pending an investigation over a leaked phone call with a former Cambodian leader.

It was a Thai court decision last year that swept Paetongtarn Shinawatra into the prime minister's office and now, once again, the fate of the 38-year-old novice politician lies in the hands of the judiciary.
