Democrat Party leader Abhisit Vejjajiva Sunday expressed his opposition to the idea of a military power seizure in Thailand.
Attending a party seminar in Ubon Ratchathani, Opposition leader Abhisit told reporters he disagreed with any call for the military to topple the Pheu Thai Party government.
The call was made last week by the People’s Alliance for Democracy.
“A political change should not happen through nonsystematic means. We should help support the political system to proceed – and political problems should be handled by the mechanisms of the system,” Abhisit said.
“If we see that the government has done what is not right, we must use the Constitution to address [the problem] or should base our actions on the charter.”
