A majority of those who voted in the August 7 referendum approved the draft charter and the additional question on whether selected senators should be allowed to vote along with elected MPs in the selection of a new prime minister for five years after the new Parliament convenes for the first time.

CDC chairman Meechai Ruchupan has assigned the constitution drafters to gather opinions from the public as to how the draft should be revised to accommodate the referendum result, according to the spokesman.
