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.
