BANGKOK
(AP) — Thailand’s junta leader and prime
minister says the government has agreed to hold a public referendum on the
newly drafted constitution, indicating that the decision could delay a general
election.
The move
to amend the interim charter to allow the referendum came after calls by
several sides for the public to be able to vote on whether they approve of the
constitution.
The
military abolished an earlier constitution after taking power in a May 2014
coup.
Prime
Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha told reporters the Cabinet and the National Council
for Peace and Order, the junta’s official name, agreed Tuesday to hold the
referendum.
He said
the process would take about three months and would affect the political road
map that was laid out by the junta after the coup.
