The 2007 Constitution should not be totally rewritten and the section stipulating the royal institution must not be changed, Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra said on Wednesday.

It will be the responsibility of members of the charter drafting assembly to consider the points in the charter that need to be rewritten, she said.
Ms Yingluck would not comment on a Pheu Thai MP's proposal that independent organisations such as the Administrative and Constitution courts should be written out of the charter.
She said, however, that a meeting of the Pheu Thai Party had passed a resolution that there will be no change to the lese majeste law.
Asked whether the number of members of the proposed CDA should be increased to 150, the prime minister said the decision rests with the parliament.
