LONDON (AFP) - Ousted Thai prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra has called for new general elections to be held in his homeland quickly, but said he would be taking a "deserved rest" from politics, a statement said. "We hope the new regime will quickly arrange a new general election and continue to uphold the principles of democracy for the future of all Thais," said a statement distributed by Thaksin's aides in London on Thursday. "Dr. Thaksin as of now will take a deserved rest," added the statement, adding that he plans to carry out development and "possible charitable work for Thailand".
