BANGKOK, 1 September 2014 – The National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) has announced its three-month performance, claiming achievements in all areas in line with the road map to move the country forward. The overall political situation was peaceful and the people enjoyed better well-being, it said.
The council said it was now in the second phase of the road map which concerned the enforcement of a temporary charter, the establishment of the National Legislative Assembly (NLA), the appointment of a prime minister, the drafting of a constitution as well as the establishment of the National Reform Council (NRC) within one year.
The NCPO came to power on 22 July 2014 after the administration of Yingluck Shinawatra.
