he military has ruled Thailand since a coup on May 22 and analysts have said General Prayuth Chan-ocha, who leads the ruling military council, could remain the country's leader until a general election tentatively due in the second half of 2015.

Asked at a news conference on the interim charter whether Prayuth would be prime minister, Wissanu Krea-ngam, a legal adviser to the junta, said: "The constitution allows it, but whether he is appointed or not is down to the National Legislative Assembly."
