Executives of the Government-led Pheu Thai Party say Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra cannot resign since her resignation will breach the Constitution and point out that the Democrat Party Leader’s political reform road map is against the charter.

Phue Thai Spokesman Phromphong Nopparit on Monday said the party’s executives would hold an official meeting on the reform road map of Democrat Leader Abhisit Vejjajiva and would later issue a statement on the matter. The Pheu Thai executives would also travel up-country to explain the statement to the locals themselves, he said.

The party’s executives had initially agreed that Mr Abhisit’s proposal that the prime minister and the Cabinet should step down to pave the way for a nonpartisan provisional government was unconstitutional and against democracy, said Mr Phromphong. The Pheu Thai spokesman called on the prime minister to adhere to laws by remaining in office, saying she might face legal actions if she resigned according to Section 181 of the Constitution.
