The elite Move Forward Party (MFP) recently urged Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin to discuss the resolution of convening a referendum during the maiden session of his Cabinet.

The referendum, according to Wacharasindhu, pivots around vital questions such as whether the charter should be entirely re-written and the procedure of selecting an appropriate body to carry out this task. A flashback to November reveals that the House had unanimously passed a motion, which received support from…
