A 15 member faction led by secretary-general Thamanat Prompow resigned from the Settakij Thai Party board on Tuesday, immediately after Wit Devahastin na Ayudhya insisted he would remain on as party leader.
Only minutes earlier, Gen Wit had confirmed that he remained party leader and would reach a compromise with Mr Thamanat on the issue of support for the government of Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha.
