Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra has said she would not resign ahead of national elections set for Feb. 2nd.
This comes after opposition1 demanded she step down as the caretaker head of government. In a statement made after a special cabinet meeting, Yingluck pleaded with the public to protect democracy, and urged protesters to stop the rally.
A day earlier, Yingluck dissolved parliament and announced elections. Yingluck said she had made every compromise possible, and wished to be treated fairly.
Protesters have demanded the incumbent2 government be replaced by an unelected "people's council" and an interim3 administration formed by non-politicians.
