Thailand’s constitutional court has suspended prime ministerial hopeful Pita Limjaroenrat after claiming he broke election laws. The court said that Pita, leader of the election-winning Move Forward Party, was not qualified to run because he held shares in a media company.

Thailand needs revolution. WHo is more qualified to be a good leader?
Good. He's pro Americans and will become their puppet thus destroying Thailand like Taiwan
The Move Forward Party needs to be dissolved.
Thai kangaroo court
10M Civilians chose Pita to be prime minister, not 250 senators. Really disappointed in Thailand's politics.
Thai elites, army and monarchy should respect Thai common people choice.
More power and hail common people.
Looks like CIA fail to influence that gov lol
Need another plan which is CIVIL WAR
This election is the hope of U$ influence. They're willing to choose Pita because they agreed that his policies to buy U$ weapon. But the old smart people in the senator don't want that.
Disturbing to watch Democracy collapse by way of a military coup. They staged this in a way to shock the people as little as possible. The people 17,000,000 voted for a Prime Minister. Yet a military appointed senate of 250 members 194 directly appointed by the junta voted against the peoples choice? Donβt give up people of Thailand πΉπ Keep fighting! β
Additionally, itβs crazy that APEC took place in Thailand a few months ago and leaders from around the world attended? Thailand should be sanctioned and boycotted as they are being occupied and ruled by a military dictatorship. There should be zero assistance from the international community. I bet there would be some changes in government then!
Temporarily suspended, but wait they also change description of the specific law; and ignore the highest law of the country, so you can't submit Pita as candidate again just to be safe! π
Pita is pro Americans. He will become their puppet thus destroying Thailand. Thus the military needs to step in
Thai people welcome Russian. But I heard that USA. invested 3,000 millian USD$ in the construction of a consulate in Chiang Mai located in the northern part of Thailand. and the political party with Mr. Phitha as the leader of the party supporting the USA.
Then the whole world was aware of the rottenness of some groups of Thai people. A group that has power and can turn wrong into right. We have someone who wins the number one election but that person doesn't get the prize. And eliminated from the competition, we spend 6 billion budget, repeat 6 billion in the election and let the authority be the blood again. And this is just part of the struggle of Thai people who want a democratic system. for almost a decade Can you figure it out? We have been fighting for almost 10 years and until now we have not succeeded.
From thai
Yes … slapped down by the monarch and military behind the scenes …. populist Thai PM hopefuls dont last very long …
Itβs no democracy in Thailand. The people went out thru the heat, the rain, all the trouble for their voice to be heard of, but the Thai government/politicians are just toxic. They are parasites!!!!!!!!!!! Pita is the best choice as of now for to be the Thai prime minister, but I guess they like a buffalo brain like prayut lol
A graceful, humble and charismatic Move Forward leader remain committed to Thai people and his nation despite facing many military created roadblocks ahead of his ascension to the next Premiership.
Pita doesnβt hold shares in an active media company. The Thai government in 2007 revoked the license of iTV, the independent TV station owned and operated by the company whose shares are held by Pita as a minority shareholder. He holds these shares in the name of his family as he is the real representation of his fatherβs estate. The company has ceased its operations for sixteen years and been waiting for a court verdict in a civil case seeking compensation from the government for unfair revocation of its license. Thus, the allegation against Pita is absurd and politically motivated in an attempt by the conservative establishment to derail his ambition for premiership.
US should learn from Thailand how to win like this
Let me break this down to you and simple rules its own country with a monarchy he went against the king he wants to make a certain law that they have their illegal it doesn't work like that it's not America it's Thailand politics is different the people did vote for him but there's another house of Senate which the previous military government put into place
Thailand has been stagnant for the past decade because of the conservative/military establishment.
Thai court is corruption also.
By this gospel you are SAVED , if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain. For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: *that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that He was buried, that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures (1 Co 15:2-4) Aliens are demons.
πγ°πβ‘β’π₯ β F I N A L W A R N I N G ! ! End of the world! Jesus is coming, rescuing/snatching all believers up to Heaven. π See Playlist
If you declare with your mouth, βJesus is Lord,β and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be SAVED. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are SAVED.
(Ro 10:9-10)
He is the most popular and the best choice for Thailand. Thai military hates to see him as Prime Minister.
I think the US should ban any politician from holding stocks or taking corporate donations.
Thailand should allow the People to elect their PM! Change the Constitution. This Senate approval does reflect the corruption in the Senate and Judiciary!!
Facist, just like the US
unelected Senates are hampering the democratic mandate of the people. This is what the Thai deserve after voting yes for the constitutional reform
very intelligent and civilized man
