A PLOT TO DELAY THE THAI ELECTIONS

A group of powerful anti-Thaksin rivals allegedly wants to oust Surayud because of fears the ex-PM's party will win the poll. Prime Minister Surayud Chulanont, however, has kept his guard up in recent weeks to ensure he survives a plot to postpone the election - due on December 23 - by derailing his premiership. Fierce enemies of deposed premier Thaksin Shinawatra are getting tough in their campaign to oust Surayud in a bid to indifinitely postpone the poll, because the People Power Party - thought to be under Thaksin's influence - may have a chance of winning. They are upset more has not been achieved during the government's year in office and want more time to undermine his capacity to win the poll.

WHO ARE THESE KEY PLAYERS ?
