Democrat Party leader Abhisit Vejjajiva says his political roadmap neither violates the Constitution nor freezes the country, while calling on the prime minister and the cabinet to step down for 5-6 months to allow a country reform.

After releasing his nine-point political roadmap, Mr. Abhisit posted a message on his Facebook account, affirming that his proposal was in accordance with the country’s democracy and the Constitution, adding that if successful, it would be greatly benefit the country and restore peace and order. He also indicated his reform plan does not involve the monarchy or the court.

The roadmap proposed by the Opposition party leader suggests that Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra resign and that the election be postponed in order to avoid the possibility of future violence and a military coup d’etat. The proposal also calls for a neutral interim government, which will be in charge of a political reform.

According to Mr. Abhisit’s political roadmap, the reform process should take about 18 months while the election should be organized within 150-180 days upon the completion of the reform.
