A party official said on Friday that Thai Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva's government survived a no-confidence vote but some of his Cabinet members did not.

The Bangkok Post has reported that Nipit Intarasombat, an executive member of Abhisit's Democrat Party, said the party has resolved to replace four Cabinet members. The decision was reached at a meeting of the executive committee led by Abhisit and attended by 16 of the 19 members, Nipit also said.

He would be one of the four new ministers, along with members of parliament Ong-art Klampaiboon, Juti Krairiksh and Chalermchai Sri-on. Nipit did not say who was being ousted, he added further.

There were unconfirmed reports Ong-art would replace Khunying Kalaya Sophonpanich as science minister, Juti would supplant Sathit Wongnongtoey as office minister, Chalermchai would replace Thira Salakphet as culture minister and Nipit would replace Paithoon Kaewthong as labor minister, the newspaper said.

The Abhisit government survived a no-trust motion Wednesday brought on by the country's deadly Red Shirt protests. The measure failed 246-186.

It was also reported that the anti-government campaign began in March, with opposition protesters, known for their red shirts, demanding new elections and the resignation of the Abhisit government, which they view as illegitimate.

The report also noted that most of the protesters were supporters of former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, who lives in exile after being ousted in a coup in 2006. (With Inputs from Agencies)
