WhatsAppWhatsAppFacebookFacebookTwitterTwitterPinterestPinterestRedditRedditGmailGmailShareShare

In the realm of Thai politics, Pita Limjaroenrat is playing the long game, and his optimism shines through when he declares, “Our time will come.” The 43-year-old, sporting a crisp striped shirt, is a Harvard graduate with an air of businesslike confidence.

It’s been almost five months since his reformist party, Move Forward, defied all expectations to claim victory in Thailand’s elections. Since then, it’s been a wild roller coaster ride: legal challenges, political rivals thwarting his office, and even suspension as an MP. But Pita remains undaunted, crisscrossing the nation to keep the political flame alive, avoiding Government House, where his access is revoked. His journey is met with supporters who, as he describes, feel anger, frustration, and tears on their cheeks. They tell him, “They are by my side, and they can wait for four more years,” referring to the next election.

Pita’s Ambition

Pita is resolute in his belief that he can run again and eventually become Thailand’s prime minister. Growing up in a wealthy, politically connected family and his prestigious education give him a unique perspective. But he’s also prepared for the worst-case scenarios, from potential court bans on his political career to the dissolution of his party.

What sets Pita apart is his sense of time. At 43, he’s younger than many of his rivals, and this lends him a distinct advantage. Despite the groundbreaking agenda of Move Forward, Pita’s approach is measured and corporate-like, helping the party broaden its base beyond just the youth.

Despite critics labeling his proposals as radical, Pita sees himself as the voice of common sense. He’s resolute in his belief that Thailand’s lese-majesty law needs reform to depolarize the monarchy and safeguard it from politics. He recognizes the changing sentiment of the era, where younger generations demand accountability and transparency.

Doubts for Pita

Despite facing opposition due to his various policy proposals, including his support for a “rules-based order” and economic reforms, Pita remains confident that the likelihood of his party being banned is low. While he acknowledges the need to trust in the legal process, he also maintains unwavering vigilance.

Pita’s journey is a testament to resilience and determination in the face of political challenges. It’s the embodiment of the human spirit in the ever-evolving landscape of Thai politics, where he plays the long game with unwavering optimism.
