Prayuth: Crown Prince Will Soon Take Throne

Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha said Tuesday that Crown Prince Vajiralongkorn could ascend to the throne as soon as Friday.
Speaking to reporters after his weekly cabinet meeting, Prayuth urged the public not to be concerned about a power vacuum as his government would follow Article 23 of the constitution to soon invite Vajiralongkorn, the designated heir, to take the throne.
“No one should be worried or suspicious about this,” Prayuth said, giving a timeframe of seven to 15 days after the funeral of His Majesty the Late King began.
Prayuth also assured the new constitution would be signed by the new King in the required time frame. Under the constitution, 96-year-old Privy Councilor Prem Tinsulanonda became regent and head of state when the Crown Prince said he needed time to mourn his father before sitting the throne.
