Democrat leader waits for PPP to form government

"I want to announce that we will wait to see whether PPP will be successful in forming a government. If they fail, it is our duty to find a good government for the country," Abhisit said.

PPP leader Samak Sundaravej said earlier that his party is ready to form a coalition government and invite all parties to join his party.

Abhisit said it would be rights of political parties to consider PPP's invitation to join its coalition government.

"Other parties could consider by themselves what is the best for the country," Abhisit said.

He insisted that his party has declared several times that it will never join hands with PPP. "I decline PPP's invitation," he said to the cheering crowds.

Samak claimed that his party could gain around 220-230 parliamentary seats which is almost half of the total MPs. Abhisit told a press conference that it seemed that his party win about 160 MPs.

Asked what he would like to tell Samak, Abhisit said Samak should think about the country rather than banned 111 former Thak Rak Thai MPs and ousted prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra.

PPP had campaigned that if it won the election, it will grant amnesty for the banned TRT MPs and brought Thaksin back from exile.
