PRIME MINISTER General Prayut Chan-o-cha said Tuesday he would stay in power to oversee a new drafting process if the draft constitution was rejected by the public.
He said a new process would automatically begin if the current draft was rejected, either through a referendum or by other means, including by the international community.
The prime minister, who is also head of the military’s ruling National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO), said he would not commit himself to how long he would cling to power, adding that things were already laid out in the road map stipulated by the interim charter.
