Thailand’s Thaksin hints at stepping aside
BANGKOK:
Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra said on Wednesday he may consider stepping aside temporarily to end Thailand’s political crisis, as the top election official warned that snap polls called for next month could be delayed.
For the first time on Wednesday, he indicated that he was willing to consider a proposal from academics and business leaders that he step aside long enough to allow for constitutional reforms sought by the opposition.
