Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha on Friday said he will serve in the role as long as he is allowed to by law, adding that the next general election will be held after the two organic laws related to elections clear parliament.

Asked by reporters about him having served as prime minister for almost eight years, Gen Prayut said that it was all about the law.
