The former Democrat Party leader said attempts to amend the constitution still needed a clear supporting signal from Gen Prayut to move it through Parliament. “Frankly speaking, the charter amendment issue will go through Parliament if the prime minister gives it a push,” Mr Abhisit said after meeting with Parliament President Chuan Leekpai. A clear stance by the prime minister on charter change will help ease political tensions, he added.
