Former Move Forward leader Pita Limjaroenrat, while assisting the People’s Party candidate for Khon Kaen mayor, boldly declared his intention to return as Thailand's best prime minister in nine years. Speaking on May 4, Pita expressed his aspirations during his visit to support Ms. Benchamaporn Srilabut’s campaign.

 

Pita, who lost his MP status after the Constitutional Court dissolved Move Forward for violating lese majeste laws—a charge stemming from campaign promises seen as undermining state rule—explained his vision for Benchamaporn's candidacy. He touted her engineering expertise as crucial for managing the municipality’s substantial budget, ensuring thorough scrutiny of projects. He emphasized the People’s Party's unique approach, offering seamless collaboration with three MPs backing their local candidate.

 

Additionally, Pita underscored the commitment to recruit talented individuals from across the nation, preserving Khon Kaen’s dignity and resilience against corruption.

 

Despite a decade-long political ban, Pita vowed to gain experience nationwide, preparing for a transformative return to national leadership. He critiqued Thailand’s stunted economic growth, lagging behind neighbours like Laos and Vietnam, and stressed the need for leadership adept at both international negotiation and internal reform.

 

Pivotal to Pita’s outlook is combating corruption—a sentiment echoed through his anecdote about foreign astonishment over the Bangkok building collapse, attributed more to systemic corruption than natural disaster preparedness.

 

Pita’s ambition is clear: a Thailand where unity and cooperation drive governance, addressing visible problems and the less-discussed corruption. His long-term vision symbolises a resilient hope for the future, grounded in the belief that Thailand can only progress with collective effort and principled leadership.

Exactly what Thailand needs, a well educated forward thinking young leader, not controlled by the old useless hi-so establishment who's only aim is their own self-interests.
