PM foresees new Thai government by August 2011
BANGKOK, April 18 (TNA) - Thai Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva said on Monday that he believes Thailand will have a new government in place by August this year.
Abhisit told reporters that, in principle, once a royal decree on a House dissolution is publicly announced, it will take immediate effect and would include the exact date for a new general election.
He further explained that he plans to submit a draft of the royal decree to His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej for endorsement by Royal Command by the first week of May. He, therefore foresees the new Thai government taking office by August, following national polls, as it is constitutionally required that the first parliamentary session is convened within 30 days after a general election.
Abhisit insisted that his administration's policies were considered to be appropriate for supporting the recovery of the Thai economy; while easing the public's burden on rising costs of living and reducing unemployment, and that if re-elected, he would maintain all policies for continuing national economic expansion.
The Thai Democrat premier called on cooperation from all parties in the country to prevent political mass rallies outside the Thai Parliament in opposition to either the election of a new premier or a policy presentation of a newly-elected government and to ensure, instead, a smooth transition toward the newly-elected administrative regime.
