In the aftermath of the recent elections, Pita Limjaroenrat and his Move Forward Party’s surprising victory over Thaksin Shinawatra’s Pheu Thai Party has left media analysts and the public intrigued. The unexpected win has led to exciting questions surrounding Move Forward’s election-related ideas and whether they were genuine proposals or mere gimmicks to secure support.

One of the central points of inquiry has been Move Forward Party’s suggestion to amend Article 112, which has long been a sensitive issue in Thai politics. Critics and skeptics are questioning whether this proposition was merely a tactic employed during the election campaign to attract voters, or if it genuinely reflects the party’s intention to bring about significant changes in the country’s political landscape.

Pita Limjaroenrat and his party secured around 14.5 million votes, defying the predictions of pollsters who had initially projected Pheu Thai Party as the likely winner. The unexpected electoral outcome has raised eyebrows, prompting a closer examination of the party’s platform and promises.
