(Photo from Facebook@ballbanofficial)Police have arrested five people who showed up at Government House to call for the prime minister to resign. It urged him to resign as prime minister and NCPO chief as soon as he agrees to become the Palang Pracharath PM candidate. Mr Parit then hung dried chilies, salt and garlic on the fence of Government House, saying they were gifts to remind Gen Prayut that he should quit. On Friday, Gen Prayut gave five reasons why he did not have to quit even if he agreed to stand as a PM candidate. Critics say Gen Prayut should resign because he retains absolute power under Section 44 of the interim constitution over everyone, including the Election Commission.
