Pita’s road remains bumpy

[webfact]

Pita Limjaroenrat’s vow to go to Government House is either a cryptic comment or an off-the-cuff remark that did not mean much. What is certain is that if he was alluding to the chief executive post, it can be a long and winding journey.

 

The first bump on the new road will be next week’s court ruling on whether Article 112 can be spoken of during an election campaign as imperfect and better off amended. While what the court says may not immediately affect Pita, future consequences can be highly volatile.

 

This is why Move Forward has not celebrated too much and too early. Last Wednesday’s Constitutional Court verdict was clear-cut in saying that an election candidate’s illegal possession of shares is wrong, no matter how little and regardless of whether those shares concerns inheritance.

 

Pita survived because iTV’s contractual right to operate TV business had been stopped by the rightful authorities. While there was big, documented evidence of the termination, there was no tangible evidence (such as licenses) of iTV operating other media businesses.

He needs to learn to talk less. Don't just jabber on to please the cameras!
