Wissanu says no to 'reform before election'

Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam Monday dismissed the suggestion by Suthep Thaugsuban, chairman of the People's Democratic Reform Foundation (PDRF), for the government to stay in power and complete reforms before holding an election.

“People can voice their opinion. The government has the obligation to stick to its road map commitment. If there is any situation that causes us to deviate from the obligations, it would be accidental,” Wissanu said.
Wissanu said he did not believe Suthep would put pressure on the government to continue its administration to reform the country. “Suthep may be pressuring others such as the National Reform Council [NRC]. But that was what he had said before May 22 last year,” Wissanu said.
