A new election could take place "sooner rather than later" if all sides cooperate, Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva says.
"If we pursue the reconciliation plan, if we get good cooperation, especially from people in the opposition, I think we could look at elections sooner rather than later," the prime minister said yesterday on the sidelines of a World Economic Forum meeting in Ho Chi Minh City.
The demand for early elections was one of the focal points of months of anti-government protests which ended mid-last month.
The government's tenure is due to end at the end of next year.
His Majesty the King yesterday endorsed the appointment of eight new ministers and deputy ministers proposed by Mr Abhisit. They will take an oath before His Majesty at Siriraj Hospital today.
