BANGKOK， Aug. 28 (Xinhua) -- A Sunday released poll says many support the junta chief and current prime minister， Prayut Chan-o-cha， to serve as prime minister after a promised general election late 2017， while two major political parties asked him to form a party for the election.


87.2 percent of the 1590 interviewees of different occupations around Thailand want Prayut to be the next prime minister， because no one is better than him to lead the country， said Noppadol Kannika， chairman of the so-called Academic Research for Community Happiness， or known as Super Poll， adding that his poll is conducted between Aug. 25 to 27.
