Thai election winner suspended from parliament
Thailand’s Constitutional Court has temporarily suspended Pita Limjaroenrat from the country’s parliament. The court has also decided to hear a case regarding whether Pita Limjaroenrat’s ownership stake in a media company made him unsuitable as a candidate for the parliamentary election on 14 May.
Pita Limjaroenrat and his party Kao Klai (roughly the Progress Party) won a landslide victory in the May election.
He had joined in a coalition with seven other parties to make a concerted resistance to the military establishment that has held and regulated power in Thailand since the 2014 military coup.
