The National Council for Peace and Order had to seize control over the administration of the State on 22nd May B.E. 2557 and announced the annulment of the Constitution of the Kingdom of Thailand, B.E. 2550 (2007), except for the provisions of Chapter II, The King. A three-phrase plan was thereafter devised with a view to reaching a resolution to the crisis. Therefore, commanded by the King that the provisions be applied as the Constitution of the Kingdom of Thailand (Interim) until the promulgation of a new Constitution which is to be subsequently prepared under the provisions of this Constitution.
