A general election in Thailand is to be delayed following a decision by the military government to hold a referendum on a new constitution.
The military has been in charge since a coup last year and an election was expected in the middle of 2016.
But a constitution re-drafted after the takeover is now to be put to the public.
Meanwhile, Yingluck Shinawatra, forced to step down as PM before the coup, is on trial on charges of negligence.
Thailand has seen almost a decade of divisive political conflict.
The military had ruled out a referendum, planning instead to seek opinion from a thousand selected respondents in each of Thailand's 77 provinces.
