A council appointed by Thailand’s military rulers has rejected a controversial new constitution drafted after last year’s coup.
A new committee must now be appointed to write another draft, further setting back elections. The draft has been widely criticised, in particular a clause which enables a 23-member panel to take over government during a “national crisis”.
