The Democrat Party has endorsed the road map for reconciliation and set a condition that the fresh elections would hinge on the dispersal of red shirts, party spokesman Buranaj Smutharaks said on Thursday.
"The Democrat MPs have granted the prime minister a leeway not to call a snap election if the red shirts refused to end their protests," he said.
Buranaj said the Democrats rallied behind Abhisit Vejjajiva after hearing his explanation on the reconciliation process.
Abhisit told his fellow Democrats that the road map was a necessary option to avert violence which if erupted, would lead to the deepening of the social divisions, he said.
The prime minister also clarified that the legal proceedings on cases related to terrorism, criminal violations and anti-monarchy movement would be carried out to the fullest extent of the law, he added.
At the party's meeting, Democrat adviser Banyat Bantadtan urged the Democrats to focus their campaigning activities in the Northeast, seen as the opposition's stronghold, in order to test the resumption of normalcy.
