Prime Minister Prayut Chanocha Friday called on all eligible voters to exercise their right during the national referendum on the new constitutional draft.
He said decisions whether to accept the new charter should be made by the majority of voters, and not a small number of them.
The PM said this principle should also be applied for general elections, adding that if possible he wanted all the eligible voters to cast their ballots.
“You are the ones who can make changes to the country. You have to come out in great numbers,” he said.
General Prayut was speaking at Government House, where he gave a 45-minute closing speech for the postcoup government’s press conference on its performances over the past year. The speech was broadcast live on the staterun NBT television.
