Junta Approves Draft Constitution in Saigon Amid Power Ties
In Saigon the military junta endorsed the draft constitution after pressure from Prime Minister Ky. The Constituent Assembly, under Ky’s influence, rushed approval and will submit the document to the Armed Forces Council before promulgation. The plan keeps junta dominance until presidential elections. The president will name a prime minister and cabinet, with the lower house able to oust ministers, and the assembly will act as interim legislature drafting laws on elections, parties, press, and treaties. Potential civilian candidates include Phan Khai Swi, aged 61, while Thieu and Ky remain the leading military contenders for president.
