Results based on more than 90 percent of ballots show that Thais have voted to approve a military-drafted constitution.
Critics have called the charter undemocratic and warn it will entrench the junta’s power.
Thailand’s Election Commission announced that 61.5 percent of voters had backed the new constitution in Sunday’s referendum, while 38.4 percent had rejected it.
The charter, drawn up by the junta, would lay the foundation for a civilian government influenced by the military and controlled by officials who have been appointed rather than elected.
