Public referendum for charter draft to be held

A joint meeting of National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) and the Cabinet have agreed on Tuesday that the 2014 provisional constitution be amended to allow the hosting of public referendum on the charter draft.

The meeting was chaired by Prayut Chan-o-cha who holds positions of the prime minister and the NCPO chief.

Prayut was quoted as saying the public referendum will delay the timeframe of the road map that the NCPO set after the coup in May last year.
The NCPO will not interfere with the charter draft as the National Reform Committee is being responsible for it.
