    BANGKOK, Feb. 27 (Xinhuanet) -- Most people in Bangkok disagree with plans by political opposition parties to boycott the April 2 election and believe that dissolution of the Lower House will not improve political atmosphere in the country, according to a poll released by the official Thai News Agency.

    The poll, conducted by ABAC Poll during last weekend among 1,603 people living in Bangkok, showed that 74.1 percent of the total respondents disagreed with plans by three opposition parties-- Democrat, Chart Thai and Mahachon -- not to field election candidates in the upcoming April 2 election of House of Representatives members.

    It said 13.6 percent of the total respondents agreed and 12.3 percent expressed no opinion.

    A plurality of 41.6 percent of the respondents said they believed political tensions would remain following the dissolution of the House while 34.2 percent said the atmosphere would improve.

    Thailand's Prime Minister announced a House dissolution last Friday due to the worsening political situation. A new parliamentary elections will be held on April 2. Enditem
