Srettha becomes the fourth Thai premier in 16 years to be removed in verdicts by the same court after its judges ruled 5-4 in favour of dismissing him for failing to perform his duty with integrity.
Srettha's exit after less than a year in power means parliament must convene to choose a new prime minister.
