The four men resigned from the Palang Pracharat Party last Thursday, not long after Mr Uttama was replaced as leader by Prawit Wongsuwon. In fact, we also are taking this opportunity for a rest," Mr Uttama said. Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha said he was sorry they resigned, but he had to accept it.
