PM: Govt will survive beyond March

Sunday, January 31st, 2010

There is no reason to dissolve parliament now and the Democrat Party and its coalition partners will continue working together to move the country forward, Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva said on Thursday.

Asked if he thought the Democrat-let administration would last beyond March because of the split over constitutional amendment, Mr Abhisit said he was confident it would survive that long and that it could last a lot longer than that.

Mr Abhisit insisted that his party had not defaulted on the agreement made with its coalition partners and had never promised it would support changes to the charter.

Somsak Prissanananthakul, an adviser to Chart Thai Pattana, earlier this morning accused Mr Abhisit of ignoring the agreement made with the coalition partners before the formation of the Democrat-led government.

Mr Somsak said his party would not clear up anything with the prime minister and that the coalition partners had been deceived.
