King meets privy council members for consultation

POST REPORTERS
His Majesty the King called the biggest gathering of privy councillors in many years for consultations on the political situation yesterday, sources close to the privy council said. Gen Prem Tinsulanonda, the privy council chairman, and Gen Surayud Chulanont, former army chief, were among the 17 privy councillors who attended the audience at Klai Kangwon Palace in Hua Hin, the sources said.

The meeting lasted about three hours, ending shortly before the People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD) issued an appeal for His Majesty the King to appoint a new prime minister.

One of the sources said His Majesty was very concerned with the political situation, but the source could not provide any further details of what was discussed at the meeting.
