(Photo by Arnun Chonmahatrakool)Deputy Prime Minister Somkid Jatusripitak and four other cabinet members will tender their resignations on Thursday after mounting pressure from the Palang Pracharath Party (PPRP) since the party's leadership reshuffle. Mr Uttama, Mr Sontirat, Mr Suvit and Mr Korbsak quit PPRP last Thursday to formally end ties with the party they had co-founded. Some party members demanded the resignation of Mr Somkid and his economic team after Gen Prawit took the helm. The four were brought into the economic team by Mr Somkid in the military government formed after the 2014 coup.
