Outgoing Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva has suggested that the Pheu Thai Party should focus its attention on national development

 Outgoing Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva has suggested that the Pheu Thai Party should focus its attention on national development after it takes over the administration.

Speaking at Government House, the outgoing prime minister admitted that the Pheu Thai Party is facing with a number of challenges, especially how it could fulfil the promised policies and the expectations of people in a democratic manner.

Mr Abhisit also warned the Pheu Thai Party not to let conflicts of interests in the national administration. He also said the election had passed already; therefore, the use of crowds and protest groups should cease as well.

The acting Democrat Party leader noted that the Pheu Thai Party has close relationship with the United Front of Democracy Against Dictatorship (UDD) and therefore should stop using the group’s movement as a tool to pressure other organisations.

Asked if UDD villages in the northeastern part of the country should be dissolved, Mr Abhisit agreed with the idea, saying social divisions should end if all sides want reconciliation in the country.
