Some members of the National Reform Steering Assembly (NRSA) and the National Legislative Assembly (NLA) have called for appointed senators to be given the right to nominate a non-politician for prime minister At the same time, Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha has said he will not be a candidate unless there was no one else suitable NRSA spokesman Wanchai Sornsiri on Wednesday proposed that the draft charter be changed to allow appointed senators to nominate a candidate for premier from outside political parties Voters decided in the Aug 7 referendum to allow senators to elect the next prime minister in conjunction with MPs. Therefore they should share the same right with MPs to nominate a candidate, regardless of whether the candidate is from a political party list, Mr Wanchai said
