Keith Rowley wants Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar to fire Jack Warner from cabinet.
The opposition leader is holding a news conference Sunday to make the demand based on a resolution that the People's National Movement (PNM) unanimously passed Saturday at a meeting of its general council.
The resolution cites an alleged bribes-for-votes matter in 2011 while Warner was a vice-president of FIFA. Warner subsequently resigned from FIFA.
Last week the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) lifted a lifetime ban on Warner's former FIFA colleague Mohamed Bin Hamman, stating that there was insufficient evidence against Bin Hamman. Warner claimed vindication.
PNM Senator Fitzgerald Hinds told reporters his party views Warner's continued place in Government as a threat to the stability and democracy of this country that was "as serious as July 27".
The PNM has been opposing Warner since the 2010 general election, saying he is not fit to be in cabinet.
