Pheu Thai Party leader Yongyuth Wichaidit on Thursday resigned his leadership with immediate effect on the ground that he wanted to pave way for party restructuring to gear for the next general election.
"Today I tender my resignation in order to ensure my party's readiness for the next poll," he said.
Yongyuth's resignation happened amid speculation that ex-premier Thaksin Shinawatra had applied a direct pressure on him to step down to make way for former national police chief General Kowit Wattana to get the job.
