The defence minister post, left vacant in the latest cabinet reshuffle, has sparked speculation that it is being reserved for Gen Chalermpol Srisawat, a former senator and chief of the defence forces.

By law, Gen Chalermpol, like all former senators, cannot hold public office for at least two years after vacating his Senate seat. This period ends on Sept 30.

Until then, Deputy Defence Minister Gen Nattaphon Narkphanit will fill in as acting defence minister in the cabinet shake-up announced in the Royal Gazette, according to a source familiar with the matter.

This move has fuelled speculation that the vacancy is being held for Gen Chalermpol, said the source.
