Pita Limjaroenrat Steps Down as Leader of Thailand's Move Forward Party

Pita Limjaroenrat, the leader of Thailand's Move Forward Party (MFP), has resigned from his position. The 43-year-old, who won the most votes in the May election but was blocked from taking power, is currently suspended from his MP duties pending a court ruling on whether he violated election law. As a result, he cannot serve as parliament's opposition leader. Pita's resignation allows the MFP to appoint a new member to take up the important role. The party will select its new leaders on September 23. Despite stepping down, Pita will remain involved in the party's activities.
