"All these interferences have inevitably led us to have contempt for the sentiments of those who claim to be 'friends' of Thailand," Prayut continued. Prayut 's statement followed the junta's success in winning approval for the controversial charter draft, receiving about 61 per cent of approved votes nationwide. Aftermath"It's disappointing … that there has been some inappropriate intervention by foreign elements during the delicate time in our political transition," Prayut said, being quoted by Government Deputy Spokesperson Maj-Gen Werachon Sukondhapatipak. He said only a few people were eager to monitor vote counting at the booths. "This malicious intent has resonated loud and clear in the hearts and minds of the people who have spoken with resolve at the referendum today [Sunday]."
