Pita Limjaroenrat acknowledges that if the Future Forward Party is disbanded, his political job may be over. However, he claims that because the group has been working hard for the people, he will not have any regrets about his day in the criticism.

The original Move Forward chief said the part of the criticism is crucial to the political system, as a party in opposition may work for everyone, regardless of their political affiliation, at the conclusion of a two-day public debate in the House on Friday.

A good politics can be judged by how much total electricity the government has as well as by how consistent and efficient the opposition is in front of the electorate, he said.

Mr. Pita, who is currently the party’s chief adviser, said he does n’t feel let down by the possibility that his political career may be over. The upcoming legislative program is expected to wrap up on Tuesday.

” As everyone knows, my social vocation is hanging by a thread, but I am ready to leave like a success”, he said.

He claimed that after hearing the claims made by his MP coworkers during the conversation, he now felt actually more confident about the future.

” Despite the possibility of disintegration, I could see that our journey towards changes in Thailand will remain. The more often our group is dissolved, the faster we can go to reach our goal”, he said.

Nevertheless, he expressed lament that the country may be wasting time and opportunities, judging from the president’s actions during the conversation to the problems the opposition raised.

This administration lacks a solid plan or agenda. Additionally, it failed to deliver on its election campaign promises, he said.

He continued,” The time has been a waste in the seven months since it took office.”

Mr. Pita also suggested a cabinet reshuffle to place the right people in the right positions, and urged the prime minister to develop his own strategy.

The Election Commission (EC ) submitted a petition to the Constitutional Court on Wednesday to look into the dissolution of the MFP.

According to the poll’s evidence, the court was initially persuaded that Move Forward had acted in a way that suggested it wanted to overthrow the government’s democratic system under the leadership of the King.

Despite having the most votes and most seats in the election last May, Mr. Pita and Move Forward were unable to form a government as a result of the unelected Senate’s opposition to their party’s proposal to amend Section 112 of the Criminal Code, the least-majeste law.

The party was told to stop pushing for changes to the law after the Supreme Court ruled in January that the proposed amendments posed a threat to the constitutional monarchy.

The Election Commission then requested that the party be disbanded, and the issue was returned to the Commission.

Move Forward’s predecessor, the Future Forward Party, was dissolved in 2020 by the charter court for violating financing rules by accepting a loan from its then- leader, Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit.

According to speculation this time around, up to 44 senior Move Forward figures, including Mr. Pita, could face lengthy political bans if the organization is disbanded because they put their names on the campaign platform, which included modifying Section 112, and getting their names on the amendment list.
