Speaking at Government House on Tuesday, the prime minister said the next step would be a background check on all the candidates which would take some time. All procedural requirements must be met first, Gen Prayut added. "Each party has nominated its candidates, but it is up to me to decide which ministerial posts they will get. Opinions will also be sought from coalition parties because we will work together," the prime minister said.
