Thai court revokes Pota’s legislator credentials

Following nearly ten years of tumultuous military-backed government, Thailand’s constitutional court has prohibited leading prime ministerial candidate and election winner Pita Limjaroenrat from serving as a lawmaker. This is the latest setback for his wildly popular progressive opposition party.

The Move Forward Party leader was temporarily suspended as a result of an Election Commission complaint accusing him of breaking election regulations by reportedly owning stock in a media company.

Pita has already charged the Election Commission with hurrying the case to court while denying he violated any election laws.

Move Forward Party had pledged deep structural reforms to how the Southeast Asian country of more than 70 million people is run: changes to the military, the economy, the decentralization of power and even reforms to the previously untouchable monarchy.
