Thailand's military-appointed senate reaches end of term

Thailand's newly elected senate has been approved by the country's electoral commission, after being delayed due to an investigation into complaints of an undemocratic process. The outgoing military-appointed senate reached the end of its five-year term in May 2024. 

The courts in Thailand have also set the next hearing dates for several cases involving high-profile politicians.
