Sompong Amornvivat, leader of the opposition Pheu Thai party, says the prime minister should resign.

Thailand’s main opposition party is urging Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-Ocha to resign. The call came during an additional session in parliament called by the prime minister and former coup leader to discuss protests in recent months in the country.

The student-led protests have demanded the resignation of the prime minister and a new constitution, but they have also spread to address the monarchy and demands for reforms of the king’s power.

– The Prime Minister is a great obstacle and a burden to the country. Please resign and everything will be fine, said Sompong Amornvivat, leader of the opposition Pheu Thai party, the largest individual party in parliament.

Prayuth Chan-Ocha became Prime Minister of Thailand in connection with a 2014 coup.
