The United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship has resolved to join Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajica's roadmap for reconciliation, Veera Musikhapong said after a meeting of UDD leaders on Tuesday.
Mr Veera, the UDD chairman, said all red-shirt leaders made the resolution unanimously because the UDD had long proposed for it. Moreover, the UDD did not want to see more deaths and injuries as a result of the political conflict.
However, the UDD, in entering the reconciliation process, wanted the prime minister to set the timeframe for House dissolution because it is within his power to do so and leave it to the Election Commission to fix the election date.
Moreover, the government must immediately show its sincerity by ending all forms of intimidation against the red shirts, he said.
Mr Veera affirmed that the UDD leaders would not seek amnesty from being charged with terrorism and lese majeste and would be ready to fight the charges.
Meanwhile, Nathawut Saikua, the UDD secretary-general, said the red-shirt protesters would not yet disperse until the prime minister came up with a clear time frame for the House dissolution.
Wiphuthalaeng Pattanaphumthai, a UDD core member, said the government should show sincerity by withdrawing all police and military forces by Tuesday night to create a friendly atmosphere.

It's a bizzar twist that the Amry chief defied the PM's order (Not using force to crack down of Red Shirts). Have you seen the documentary on eith SBS or ABC regadring Thailand - chilling but intersting.
