The acting prime minister considers the Pheu Thai Party's attempt to seek amnesty for former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra a national security threat.
Before attending the 20th World Economic Forum on East Asia in Jakarta, Indonesia, Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva expressed confidence that his Democrat Party will win the upcoming general election scheduled to take place on July 3.
He claimed that the party has been well received by voters, who want to see the country moving forward and stability.
Abhisit also admitted that even though the campaign season has not been without problem, it has been relatively peaceful.
The acting prime minister added that just only a few months ago, there were many skeptics who did not believe that the poll could actually take place but that is no longer the case now.
About his political rival Yingluck Shinawatra's attempt to secure an amnesty for her brother former prime Minister Thaskin Shinawatra, who has been charged with multiple counts of corruption, Abhisit said such a move is considered a national security threat and is not what the country needs at the moment.
He claimed that it could bring more problems and worsen the country's political situation.
