The leader of Thailand's opposition has called for elections scheduled for July to be pushed back by up to six months.

 

In a 10-point package of proposals, Abhisit Vejjajiva said the prime minister and her government should resign, allowing an interim cabinet to oversee a referendum on reforms.

 

A government minister has rejected the proposals as unconstitutional.

 

Thailand has been in political deadlock since anti-government protests began in Bangkok in November 2013.

 

Ms Yingluck's government announced the 20 July polls after a previous snap election in February was declared unconstitutional.

 

The ruling Pheu Thai party had been expected to win the February vote. However, the opposition boycotted the polls and protesters disrupted voting.
