Anti-government protesters have been celebrating an order by Thailand's constitutional court to ban the prime minister from politics for five years and dissolve the country's ruling party after finding it committed electoral fraud.

The decision, which effectively dissolves Prime Minister Somchai Wongsawat's government, follows months of opposition protests in Bangkok that have driven government officials from their offices and shut down the city's major airport for a week.

The court also banned at least one of the People Power Party's ruling coalition partners, effectively dismantling the government over allegations of vote-rigging.
