Chính trị gia kỳ cựu Banharn Silpa-archa tin rằng tình hình Thái Lan sẽ được cải thiện sau tổng tuyển cử. Ông không nghĩ rằng việc quân đội phô diễn sức mạnh và thể hiện sự trung thành với hoàng gia là có ngụ ý gì với nền chính trị đất nước.

Veteran politician Banharn Silpa-archa believes the national situation will improve after the general election and does not think the military's show of force and loyalty to the monarchy has anything to do with politics.

Mr Banharn who is chief adviser to the leader of the Chart Thai Pattana Party. said he expects Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva will dissolve the House early next month and call a general election in late June.

Mr Banharn declined to comment on reports the Bhumjaithai Party may be using its loyalty to the royal institution to woo voters' support.

It was a sensitive issue and he would discuss it only with Bhumjaithai figures, he said. He did not think it would lead to any serious problem.

Mr Banharn also said that the military's show of force and determination to protect the royal institution was not political and he did not think there would be a coup d'etat in the near future.
