Thailand's main opposition party on Tuesday said it will try to oust Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha as early as this month, insisting that his years as junta chief after a 2014 coup count toward a constitutional eight-year limit on his time in office.
Prayuth must call an election within the next 10 months, but the Pheu Thai Party believes his term should end on Aug. 23 and will ask the constitutional court to rule on how long he can stay in office, the party's legal expert, Chusak Sirinin told Reuters.
