Gen Prawit said Wednesday Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha has assigned him to chair the meeting with politicians to consider what restrictions could be eased first. Gen Prawit said the ban will only be partially lifted so parties will be allowed to hold meetings and recruit members. Political parties also asked the NCPO to lift the ban on parties so they could recruit new members to vote in the primaries.
