National Reform Council (NRC) members on Tuesday elected Thienchai Kiranan as NRC president and Bowornsak Uwanno as the first vice president.
Thienchai, 70, was a former rector of Chulalongkorn University and former chairman of the Council of University Presidents of Thailand. He had been tipped for the position at the beginning.
He earlier said he would be ready to take on the responsibilities if there were sufficient support from other NCR members. Bowornsak is secretary general of King prachadipok's Institute.
