A Chart Thai Pattana Party adviser has suggested that all sides should come together to set up guidelines for political reformation without breaching the Constitution, adding that an election on 20 July is the best way forward.
According to the 10-point political road map just recently advocated by Abhisit Vejjajiva, the Democrat party leader, there are “five keys” to solving the current political problems, including the installation of a “neutral” prime minister. In response, the Chart Thai Pattana adviser, Somsak Prissananantakul, said the party will support any solution that does not breach the Constitution and wants all sides to solve this crisis together. Moreover, he believes that holding an election on 20 July will be the best way out of the political impasse for the country, with another election to be held in a year and a half.
Mr. Somsak added that a neutral interim government is not acceptable since the prime minister must only ascend to the position via an election. He admitted that he is worried about the current circumstances since Thailand will enter the AEC soon, while several laws and regulations are pending approval by the government and need to be worked out. However, the Chart Thai Pattana Party is not proposing any specific guidelines for reformation.
