Xinhua, August 11, 2015 Adjust font size:

Thai Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o- cha said Tuesday that the list of cabinet reshuffle was completed and would be submitted to the king for endorsement.

But Prayut did not reveal how the current cabinet would be reshuffled or when the list would be forwarded to the king.

The premier is also expected to name a new police chief on Friday, according to national police chief Somyot Pumpunmuang.

In a related development, Defense Minister Prawit Wongsuwon reportedly said Tuesday that he was waiting for outgoing army chief Udomdej Sitabutr to submit nomination for a successor by Saturday.

Prawit stressed that the two assistant army chiefs, one of whom is the younger brother of the prime minister, are both well qualified for the position. Endi
