Bangkok, Nov 14

Thailand's opposition Democrat Party will submit a censure motion against the government next week, media reported Wednesday.

The resignation of nine Democrat MPs, including Suthep Thaugsuban, from the House of Representatives earlier this week would not affect the party's plan to censure the government, the opposition Democrat Party's chief whip Jurin Laksanavisit was quoted by The Nation newspaper as saying, Xinhua reported.

But a proper time is yet to be ascertained because the party needs to gather more information and papers for the censure debate, he added.

The Democrat Party might start with a censure motion against certain members of the cabinet before dragging in Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra, Jurin said.

Yingluck has one week to decide whether to dissolve the House, deputy Democrat leader Alongkorn Ponlaboot said. If she refuses to, a censure motion will be filed, Alongkorn added.
