Thai Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha on Monday appointed the 200-member National Reform Steering Assembly.
The National Reform Steering Assembly includes 80 military officers and 120 civilians, according to a royal gazette issued with a list of all the assembly members.

Its term will depend on the new constitution.
Prayut earlier said that the nationwide election might be held by mid-2017.
