Former “yellow shirt” leaders to demand PM’s resignation

13 Sept 14:04 Key points summarised by AI

Former core leaders of Thailand's "yellow shirt" movement are returning to demand Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra's resignation.
The demand stems from growing outrage over a leaked phone call between PM Paetongtarn and former Cambodian leader Hun Sen.
A new campaign to oust the Prime Minister will be launched by the Network of Students and People for Thailand’s Reform, featuring prominent "yellow shirt" figures.
The scandal has already caused a key coalition partner, the Bhumjaithai party, to withdraw its support, accusing the PM of undermining the country.
Hundreds of anti-government protesters have already gathered outside Government House, demanding Paetongtarn's immediate resignation.
