Premier to remain in Bangkok next week
Caretaker Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra plans to stay in Bangkok for the whole of next week to help Thai Rak Thai candidates campaign for the election.
He returned to Government House on Thursday after being absent since March 10, when People's Alliance for Democracy-led protesters besieged the compound. He has also cancelled plans to visit the South next week so as to concentrate on campaigning in Bangkok. His schedule will see him visiting his party's constituencies in Bangkok on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings to speak to voters. On Tuesday he will chair a Cabinet meeting in Government House, and on Friday he will deliver a speech at Lumpini Park on the direction of the Thai Rak Thai Party. On Saturday he plans to make his final campaign appearances before Sunday's election.
